Gabon’s 2025 foreign investment surge: 216 billion FCFA inflow boosts economy

Gabon has cemented its status as a leading destination for foreign direct investment (FDI) within the Central African Economic and Monetary Community (CEMAC), drawing in 379 million dollars in 2025. This influx, equivalent to 216 billion FCFA, marks a notable rebound from 310 million dollars recorded in 2024, signaling renewed investor confidence after years of volatility in capital flows. The surge aligns with global trends where international investments are increasingly directed toward strategic sectors such as digital infrastructure, critical minerals, and energy.
