LIBREVILLE, Gabon — In a move to bolster the industrial sector’s contribution to the nation’s wealth creation, the national industrial data collection survey is underway, aiming to deepen understanding of Gabon’s industrial fabric. Consultant Jean Rodolphe Nguema highlighted the initiative during a recent workshop in Libreville, emphasizing the importance of comprehensive industrial data collection.
The survey seeks to provide a detailed picture of the industrial landscape, including the sector’s actual economic weight, level of activity, and necessary conditions for development. This information is crucial for guiding industrial policy and enhancing sector competitiveness.
The study has identified industrial units across the country, classifying them by sector, activity, ownership, legal status, state participation, and size. It has also evaluated the proportion of companies with valid Industrial Technical Approval. These insights will help pinpoint growth opportunities and constraints, facilitating investor decision-making and public action to boost industrial wealth creation.
Gabon’s strategic location on the Gulf of Guinea provides access to regional markets, enhancing its business environment.
The country has been diversifying its economy, establishing special economic zones to promote industrial production and sustainable resource use.
The Gabon Special Economic Zone (GSEZ), established in 2010, has been instrumental in this effort.
As Gabon continues to harness its natural resources, reliable data is essential for guiding sustainable economic progress.
The national industrial data collection survey is a significant step towards achieving this goal, ensuring a more inclusive and prosperous future for its citizens.
