Overview

Gabon's GDP per capita has risen from a post‑independence trough of 276.14 in 1960 to 9,303.04 in 2025, placing the country 90th globally. The all‑time peak of 10,219.11 was recorded in 2011, after which the indicator fell modestly, reflecting the volatility of oil‑dependent revenues and periods of fiscal adjustment. Over the 66‑year coverage, the upward trajectory mirrors broader structural reforms and modest diversification, yet the recent figure remains slightly below peers such as Belarus (9,435.38) and Peru (9,255.72). While the long‑run increase signals progress, the gap between the 2011 peak and 2025 suggests that sustaining higher per‑capita growth will depend on expanding non‑hydrocarbon sectors, improving governance, and stabilising external price shocks, which could re‑ignite an upward trend.
