Gabon's GDP is dominated by oil, which accounts for the majority of export earnings and government revenue. Timber, manganese, and other minerals also contribute significantly. Agriculture plays a smaller role, though it sustains rural communities. Efforts are underway to diversify the economy through investments in tourism, agribusiness, and services. Gabon's relatively small population and abundant natural resources provide potential for higher per capita income, though inequality and reliance on oil pose challenges. Infrastructure and environmental sustainability are key focuses, with reforestation and green energy initiatives supporting Gabon's vision of balanced, long-term economic development.
