On 24 June 2026, the Ministry of Economy, Finance, the Debt and Participations of Gabon hosted a senior delegation from ECOBANK Transnational Incorporated, the pan‑African banking group. The meeting, held in Libreville, brought together the bank’s Gabonese CEO and several senior executives to discuss potential collaborations aimed at strengthening Gabon’s financial sector. Topics included expanding credit facilities for small and medium‑sized enterprises, fostering digital payments, and enhancing capacity‑building programmes for local banks. Both parties reaffirmed their commitment to supporting Gabon’s economic diversification agenda and to contributing to the broader goal of reducing poverty through inclusive finance. The discussion also covered the bank’s roadmap for sustainable investment in renewable energy projects within the country, aligning with Gabon’s environmental objectives. Stakeholders emphasized the importance of leveraging private sector expertise to complement government initiatives in financing infrastructure and social programmes. The meeting concluded with a mutual agreement to explore concrete project pipelines and to establish a joint working group that will monitor progress and report back to senior officials later in the year.
