The short-term outlook for Gabon remains challenging. Although a growth rebound in 2018 is expected given good prospects for foreign direct investment and higher oil prices, low non-oil revenue collections and tight short-term liquidity conditions at the Treasury will require decisive implementation of the recently announced fiscal consolidation plan. Timely clearance of domestic arrears is needed to strengthen banks' balance sheets and increase credit to the private sector to support growth, while clearance of external arrears is crucial to maintain Gabon's creditworthiness and access to external financing.
