Capturing the financial flows of residents and the diaspora requires rethinking traditional collection channels, prompting authorities to closely examine digital transactional infrastructures. Discussions thus revolve around integrating virtual wallets into the architecture of regulated savings, under the guidance of sectoral figures such as Aïssatou Barro, General Director of Airtel Money Gabon.


The daily use of mobile accounts for domestic transfers, merchant payments, or regional flows through GIMACPAY interoperability predisposes these tools to expand their scope of action. Connecting these digital supports to banking structures and microfinance institutions would significantly lower entry barriers for savers with limited liquidity.


Streamlining subscriptions and automating the top-up of regulated savings books, however, requires absolute rigor in terms of traceability, identification, and user protection, to ensure impeccable institutional robustness.

Mobilizing national savings and diaspora contributions is vital to reach the target of 18,000 billion FCFA expected from domestic resources and the private sector. Reducing external dependence involves implementing innovative mechanisms capable of channeling volatile savings toward long-term productive investments. Consolidating the country's financial sovereignty through the diversification of financing sources thus constitutes the guiding thread of these major economic assemblies held in the Gabonese capital.
