In a constantly changing world, the key to attractiveness is adaptation.\u00a0
In just over a decade, the Gabonese economy, once geared toward income, has undergone more than just a transformation. It has undergone a metamorphosis.
<\/span>Once heavily dependent on oil, our economy has diversified significantly. Through timber, mining, agriculture, fishing, etc.\u00a0
<\/span>It has also been considerably modernized, as evidenced by the construction of transport and energy infrastructure, the extension of the Port of Owendo, the creation of new special economic zones within the country following the model of the world-renowned Nkok ZERP, the obligation to process our raw materials locally, etc.\u00a0
<\/span>\u2026But also the need to better train our youth to prepare them for the world of work and its changing circumstances. In this regard, our education system has, in the space of just a few years, evolved enormously to be more in line with the demands of companies seeking specific skills. We know that finding qualified workers is a key concern for investors.\u00a0
<\/span>On the legal front, Gabon has also undertaken an overhaul of its legal framework in order to strengthen its attractiveness in the eyes of investors and make their investments even more secure.
<\/span>Internationally, these advances are recognized and praised. In the vast majority of international economic rankings, Gabon often ranks among the top countries on the continent.\u00a0\u00a0
<\/span>Our country is now preparing to embark on a new phase of its economic development. Covered at 88% by equatorial forest, one of the two green lungs of the planet, Gabon, which is at the forefront of the fight against global warming, is ready to fully embrace the new economic revolution, green and decarbonized, and the energy transition.
<\/span>For investors, the opportunities are enormous.\u00a0
<\/span>Gabon is a welcoming, stable country, open to the world, not stuck in the past but looking to the future. A mobile and adaptable country. These are the virtues that allowed us to join the Commonwealth in June 2022.\u00a0\u00a0
<\/span>It is partly in Africa that tomorrow's growth will take place. Gabon has a key role to play in this process. I therefore invite you to come to Gabon and discover us.\u00a0
<\/span>Investors from all over the world, we are waiting for you.<\/span>
Gabon is open for business!\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/p>
