Gabon's government held a cabinet meeting in Port-Gentil, the country's economic capital, on September 19, 2026, according to a government statement. The meeting was chaired by President Brice Clotaire Oligui Nguema and focused on measures to revive the national economy and accelerate ongoing reforms.
The government announced a series of measures aimed at diversifying the economy away from oil dependence, improving the business climate, and boosting investment in key sectors such as infrastructure, agriculture, and digital technology. Specific details of the measures were not immediately available in the public statement.
This cabinet meeting follows previous government actions in 2026 to implement the National Development Plan (PND) and address economic challenges. The choice of Port-Gentil, the center of Gabon's oil industry, underscores the government's focus on economic revitalization.
Further information on the announced measures is expected to be released in the coming days. The government has not yet provided a timeline for implementation.
