Analysis# Gabon Total Investment Gabon's total investment reached 34.51% of GDP in 2026, approaching levels not seen since the pre-financial crisis era. The country peaked at 36.438% in 2014 before declining, yet remains well above its 2008 low of 23.906%. Since 2004, investment has grown 27.2%, demonstrating sustained capital formation despite volatility across economic cycles. A sharp recovery began in 2021, when investment jumped to 33.499% after dropping to 27.009% in 2018. The subsequent years show resilience, with 2024 marking 35.454%—the second-highest on record. Recent projections suggest stabilization around 34%, indicating Gabon has largely recovered from the mid-2010s slowdown and established a new baseline for productive capacity.
