Gabon, officially the Gabonese Republic, is a sovereign state on the west coast of Central Africa located on the equator. Gabon's economy is dominated by oil. Oil revenues comprise roughly 46% of the government's budget and 74% of exports. [1] The gross domestic product (GDP) of oil accounted for 51% of the economy in 2022, up from 38.5% in 2021. Oil production is now declining rapidly from its high point of 370,000 barrels per day in 1997 to 195,000 in 2022. [2] The economy is highly dependent on extraction of abundant primary materials. Prior to the discovery of oil, logging was the pillar of the Gabonese economy. Today, logging and manganese mining are the other major income generators. Former President Ali Bongo aimed to reduce the country's dependency on oil to as low as 20% by 2025. The transitional government stated that it hopes to reduce the dependence on oil production while diversifying the Gabonese economy. [3]
