Gabon is one of Africa's most expensive countries, positioned in the upper tier of continental living costs due to its oil-based economy and limited supply of goods and services. Overall costs are about 70% higher than the Africa average, making it significantly pricier than most neighboring countries. For expats and digital nomads, expect to budget substantially more than in typical African destinations, though salaries and purchasing power for oil-sector workers are correspondingly higher.
