Oligui Nguema aims to rebalance public sector accounts by reducing salaries and benefits

He specifically targeted public enterprise executives, stating that greater equity should guide administrative reforms. The President emphasized that efforts to reduce state spending should not be limited to political institutions, noting that some general directors or their deputies in the parapublic sector earn more than ministers and parliamentarians. He declared that salary reductions in these sectors would promote better equity.

This initiative seeks to rebalance public resource management, restore coherence at the state's highest levels, and address social expectations in a country marked by inequalities and purchasing power concerns. The government aims to control state costs and enhance the efficiency of public spending. President Oligui Nguema also mentioned other measures, such as the proposed elimination of transport allowances for civil servants with official vehicles.

Conversely, he announced an increase in remuneration for Gabonese diplomatic representatives to improve their living conditions and enable them to achieve their objectives, citing previously degrading conditions for diplomatic and consular missions.
