Overview
Gabon is an oil-rich nation on the west coast of Central Africa, known for its significant natural resources and relatively high per capita income compared to other sub-Saharan African countries. Following a military coup in 2023, the country is currently under a transitional government, aiming for a return to constitutional order. Economic diversification away from oil remains a key long-term objective.
