Gabon 2026: fiscal reforms boost local manufacturing

The Gabonese Senate has passed the 2026 Rectified Finance Law (LFR), a groundbreaking fiscal reform designed not only to bolster state revenues but also to transform Gabon’s economic landscape. By leveraging tax policy as a strategic tool, the government is placing the « Made in Gabon » initiative at the heart of its agenda, introducing targeted exemptions, reduced VAT rates, and incentives to enhance the competitiveness of domestic producers, stimulate industrial transformation, and curb reliance on imports.
