Gabon Secures $920 Million Eurobond to Finance Projects and Repay Debt

Gabon Eurobond $920 million 9.375% coupon IMF negotiations

Gabon completed an international eurobond offering of US$920 million (about 526 billion CFA), marking its return to global capital markets. The three‑year amortisation deferral, 9.375 % coupon and final maturity in 2033 were set after negotiations led by the country’s Minister of Economy and Finance with leading global institutional investors. The issue was widely oversubscribed, reflecting renewed investor confidence. Net proceeds will be used to fund state investment projects and to repay arrears under the 2026 finance law. The issuance forms part of ongoing technical discussions with the International Monetary Fund, which plans a review mission to Libreville in September 2026 and aims to conclude a financing programme by the end of the year.
