AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Media Freedom: Gabon has resumed issuing press cards after a five-year freeze, but journalists say a five-day application deadline risks excluding applicants and leaves little time to fix the system. Iboga Protection: Growing US pharmaceutical interest in ibogaine is raising concern in Gabon, where iboga is a sacred plant central to Bwiti traditions, over future demand and protection of local practices. Oil: BW Energy and its partners reported commercial discoveries estimated at 8–9 million barrels offshore Gabon, supporting plans for new production wells, with first oil expected in 2027. Energy Investment: Gabon and SEEG signed an agreement with Aurion Capital for a planned 450-megawatt power program aimed at strengthening energy security. Ports: A.P. Moller Capital has agreed to buy Portek International, which operates a terminal in Gabon; the deal awaits regulatory approvals.
