What it is. GDP per capita divides the value of all goods and services produced in Gabon in a year by the number of people living there, with the result expressed in current US dollars. As an average, it hides how income is shared between households. Because it uses current dollars, the figure moves with prices and exchange rates as well as with the volume of output. Unpaid work and informal activity sit outside what the measure counts.
Higher is better. A higher figure means more output for each person, which gives households and the state more income to spend and save. The latest figure is $8,263 for 2025, up from $8,230 a year earlier, a rise of $33 or 0.4%. Since 2016 the lowest point was $6,606 in 2020 and the highest was $8,409 in 2022. The latest figure sits just under that 2022 high and well above the 2020 low.
Why it matters. At $8,263 per person, average output in Gabon is far above its 2020 level of $6,606 but still under the $8,409 reached in 2022. A rise of 0.4% adds little to average living standards over a single year. For households, that means incomes on average are close to flat, and for firms it points to steady rather than expanding demand. The next annual reading will show whether the figure moves above $8,409.
