Who We Are
Gabonese Sovereign Wealth Fund
As the exclusive manager of the Sovereign Wealth Fund of the Gabonese Republic and of the non-attributed assets of the Gabonese government’s portfolio, FGIS mobilizes the government’s resources from its portfolio and from oil exploitation for the benefit of Gabon’s infrastructure, economic fabric and social sectors.
Since November 2022, FGIS is also the exclusive agent in charge of marketing carbon credits belonging to the Gabonese Republic.

Established in 2012, the Gabonese Fund for Strategic Investments (FGIS), is the exclusive manager of the Sovereign Wealth Fund of the Gabonese Republic (FSRG) and is dedicated to investing in the realization of intergenerational shared prosperity in Gabon.
Today, we act as a development fund dedicated to financing the implementation of government priorities for the benefit of the population and future generations. Our action is aligned with the country’s strategic orientations defined in the Plan d’Accélération de la Transformation (PAT), presented in 2021 in a logic of structural transformation of the economy.
Created to grow national savings and actively contribute to the diversification of the Gabonese economy, the Gabonese Sovereign Wealth Fund inherited state holdings in a dozen key sectors in Gabon and has a total of 83 companies in its portfolio.
The FGIS is regulated according to an extremely strict protocol in terms of governance, social and environmental responsibility in order to carry out its missions in accordance with the needs, not only of the Gabonese people, but also of leading international institutions and companies.
The strategic review of our operations in the context of a global pandemic gave us the opportunity to carry out an in-depth reflection on transformation. This is now beginning to bear fruit, as evidenced by the development and the start of the implementation of 2020-2025 strategic plan, fully supported by a mobilized and committed team.
Our investment strategy aims to achieve a dual objective of financial performance of the portfolio to promote social impact. We intend to achieve this performance through optimized management of our assets and mobilization of our resources, at the service of Gabonese, for today and tomorrow.
Three areas of intervention stem from this desire for impact: the development of essential infrastructure, support for small and medium-sized enterprises to promote job creation and the strengthening of social sectors in line with the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations.
This strategy is aligned with the fundamental responsibilities entrusted to the FGIS in the 2021-2023 Transformation Acceleration Plan which sets the Government's roadmap. Over the next years, our teams will work to carry out structuring projects for the transformation of our economy.
