Abstract: Domestic resource mobilization has rightly been placed at the centre of the 'financing for development' agenda across developing countries. While much is known about the importance of domestic taxes in contributing to this agenda, little is known about the potential importance of domestic savings, for which understanding its determinants is crucial. This paper fills that gap by identifying the robust determinants of domestic savings in Cameroon.
