Employment in Gabon

Economic Overview

Gabon카지노 게임 컬렉션�s national currency is the CFA Franc. Oil dominates Gabon카지노 게임 컬렉션�s economy; around 46% of the governmental budget is derived from oil revenues, which also account from 43% of Gabon카지노 게임 컬렉션�s GDP. As mentioned, fluctuations in oil prices are therefore highly problematic for the Gabonese economy. In addition to this, some speculators have asserted that the country카지노 게임 컬렉션�s supplies of oil could be dry as early as 2025, though there is some dispute about the accuracy of this statement.

Although oil revenues have contributed to Gabon카지노 게임 컬렉션�s high economic standing in Africa, this revenue has been famously mismanaged by the government who has been accused of overspending on a number of infrastructure projects. This prosperity has also failed to filter down to the majority of the population, around one third of whom live in poverty. It is suggested that as much a 90% of income is earned by just 20% of the Gabonese population.

Underdeveloped infrastructure has prohibited the expansion of the economy into other areas such as tourism and agriculture. The incumbent government has stated its intention to attempt to alter this state of affairs.
