Le quartier Mont-Bouet, célèbre pour abriter le plus grand marché de Libreville, s’apprête à faire l’objet d’une régulation stricte visant à améliorer l’inclusion et la sécurité financière ainsi que la transparence des transactions financières des commerçants avec leurs clients et vis-à-vis des impôts et taxes à payer l’Etat gabonais. Ce projet répond à une problématique majeure : les transferts d’argent réalisés dans l’informel, hors du circuit bancaire classique, qui échappent au contrôle fiscal, privant ainsi l’État de recettes essentielles.

Gabon Shines on the Sub-Regional Financial Market: Resounding Success of the EOG 6.25% Bond Against International Cassandras
Libreville, December 22, 2025 – Amid global budgetary tensions, the State of Gabon has just achieved a remarkable breakthrough on the financial market.

This resounding success stands in stark contrast to the bond issues of 2024, which were often hampered by weak investor participation and repeated extensions.

Fitch Ratings has downgraded Gabon’s sovereign credit rating to CCC-, citing the country as facing ‘substantial credit risk’ with a ‘very concerning’ solvency outlook.
Libreville, December 20, 2025 – Fitch Ratings has once again struck hard by downgrading Gabon’s sovereign credit rating to CCC-, placing the country among those facing “substantial credit risk” with a “very concerning” solvency outlook. According to Fitch, public debt is projected to climb to 86.6% of GDP over the 2023–2027 period, far exceeding the 70% threshold set by CEMAC, while the budget deficit is expected to widen from 1.3% to 2.3% of GDP and growth remain limited at 2.7%. Stable inflation at 1.7%, net external debt at 25% of GDP, and foreign direct investment capped at 4.1% complete this bleak picture, threatening “deteriorating fiscal flexibility,” payment arrears, and a heightened risk of default—potentially to be addressed through recourse to the IMF.

Gabon’s ‘Placements’ Phenomenon
In contemporary Gabon, marked by the rise of new information and communication technologies (ICTs) and growing job insecurity, an alarming phenomenon is gaining ground: “placement.” This practice—an euphemism for voluntary and short‑term prostitution—consists of many young people monetizing their bodies through multiple sexual partners, lured by easy money and the illusion of pleasure. Facilitated by dating apps and social networks, this commodification of the body exposes the youth to profound health, social, and moral risks, threatening the future of an entire generation.
