Overview
Gabon's exports stood at $5.4B in 2015, a decline of +$3.0B from 2014. Gabon ranked 108th globally.
Gabon's export performance has risen markedly since the earliest recorded figure of 1,478,490,297.81 in 1978, reaching an all‑time peak of 10,476,428,947.47 in 2011 before retreating to a trough of 1,197,756,075.60 in 1986. By 2015 exports stood at 5,389,959,683.06, placing the country at 108th globally and aligning closely with peers such as Mauritius (5,394,631,907.54) and Mongolia (5,135,249,417.40). The post‑peak decline reflects volatility in commodity markets, particularly oil, which dominates Gabon's trade basket, while the modest recovery to 2015 suggests a partial rebalancing toward non‑hydrocarbon products and modest diversification efforts. Over the 37‑year coverage period the trajectory has been characterised by a sharp ascent, a pronounced dip, and a gradual climb back toward the mid‑range of its historical envelope. Continued investment in value‑added processing and broader market access could sustain the upward trend and mitigate future export swings.
