T his Wednesday, December 3, 2025, at 10:00 AM, the auditorium of the Ministry of Economy in Arambo, Libreville, will host a crucial government seminar. Under the direction of Minister of State Henri-Claude OYIMA, Vice-President of the Government for the interim period and in charge of Economy, Finance, Debt, Participations, and the fight against the high cost of living, this seminar will also bring together Louise Pierrette MVONO, Minister of Planning, Foresight, Oil, and Gas for the interim period.

The central theme of this government seminar – the 2026 Finance Act and budgetary execution procedures, associated with public investment management processes and the presentation of a new dedicated platform – is of crucial importance in Gabon's current economic context.

Strategic Importance of the Seminar : 1. Clarification and Ownership of Financial Orientations The Finance Act, the cornerstone of economic policy, determines public resources and expenditures. Precisely understanding its execution modalities is essential to ensure rigorous and transparent management.

2. Standardization of Budgetary Procedures Involving all key stakeholders – members of the government, secretary generals, administrative and financial directors, financial advisors, and the financial directorate of the Presidency – guarantees a necessary harmonization for consistency in the application of the law.

3. Optimization of Public Investments In a context of budgetary constraints and increased requirements for public expenditure performance, this seminar will strengthen the mechanisms for monitoring, evaluation, and steering of investments, thereby optimizing their impact on economic development.

4. Presentation of a New Dedicated Platform The launch of a specific digital tool aims to modernize budgetary management and investment execution, offering greater efficiency, traceability, and transparency. This technological system will foster better coordination and increased control over financial operations.

This governmental meeting reflects a clear commitment to improving the country's economic and financial governance. Through in-depth dialogue and targeted training, this seminar lays the foundation for modern public management, adapted to current challenges, notably expenditure control, the fight against the high cost of living, rigorous debt management, and the optimization of oil and gas resources. This initiative will undoubtedly contribute to strengthening the confidence of national and international partners for a Gabon experiencing strong growth and economic stability.
