The assessment reveals that the Gabonese financial sector is dominated by a relatively sound but small banking sector that focuses squarely on the formal sector. The operating environment is characterized by a fixed peg to the euro, heavy dependence on oil exports, and continued government presence in both the enterprise and financial sectors.
