  • Debt declines from 58% to 54% of GDP in 2024, though Fitch estimates are higher
  • Government seeks to strengthen financial stability with further debt buybacks

Gabon’s public debt stood at 54% of GDP at the end of 2024, down from 58% a year earlier, according to official figures released on Friday. The drop, authorities said, was due to the country’s ability to meet its debt obligations despite liquidity challenges.
