Gabon GAB

Executive summary

Gabon maintains an adequate credibility position with a composite score of 63.5/100, but faces a significant credibility gap of 99.7/100, indicating a major disconnect between policy expectations and actual outcomes. The country's inflation rate remains below the implicit target regime, but the absence of central bank policy rate data and communication signals limits transparency and predictability. Recent geopolitical events have been mixed, with some positive developments in economic governance and environmental protection, but also concerning issues such as legal and social challenges. Gabon ranks 30th in Sub-Saharan Africa, below the regional average of 65.3, highlighting a need for stronger institutional and policy consistency to improve credibility and attract long-term investment.
