Gabon’s Economy Maintains Stability in Q4 2025 Amid Sectorial Disparities. Libreville, Gabon – The Gabonese economy displayed resilience in the fourth quarter of 2025, according to the Sectorial Economic Outlook published by the General Directorate of Economy and Fiscal Policy (DGEPF), as reported by the Gabonese Press Agency.
In the primary sector, extractive activities recorded positive growth, driven by an increase in oil production (+1. 6%), natural gas commercialization (+10. 8%), and manganese (+14.
1%). Conversely, the cash crop agriculture sector continued its downward trend (-12. 4%), affected by a decline in palm oil production (-26.
4%) despite a rise in natural rubber (+21. 4%).

9%), electricity (-8. 3%), cement (-8. 2%), mineral water (-8.
0%), industrial gas (-5. 8%), flour (-5. 3%), and water (-4.
4%).
