Gabon’s economic growth is expected to reach 2.8% in 2025, according to the latest forecasts from the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
This figure marks a slight decline compared to 2024, where growth was estimated at 3.1%, according to the international financial institution.
The slowdown in economic activity in Gabon is partly explained by "the decline in the performance of the oil sector and regional macroeconomic uncertainties.”
According to the IMF, an acceleration of structural reforms is necessary to diversify Gabon’s economy and strengthen its resilience to external shocks.
The financial institution also recommends reducing dependence on hydrocarbons by encouraging investments in alternative sectors such as mining, agriculture, and the green economy.
This direction aims to promote more sustainable growth and ensure better financial stability for the country in the medium term.
