Gabon
- Economic growth in 2012 was robust, supported externally by improving world prices for oil, manganese and timber, and internally by massive investments undertaken for football’s Africa Cup of Nations 2012. The economy should continue expanding over 2013 and 2014, despite a structural fall in oil production.
- The country must meet three major challenges: poverty, which affects one citizen in three, the high unemployment rate, standing at 27% of the working population, and the continuing very unequal distribution of income.
- Local processing of raw materials will increase sharply in the special economic zones currently being set up.
