Ministry

Ministry of Trade, SMEs and Youth Entrepreneurship

Locality: Libreville, Estuaire

Overview

The trade ministry sets domestic and foreign trade policy and support for small and medium-sized enterprises. Its title has changed several times: its website, archived in October 2025, presented it as the Ministry of Entrepreneurship, Trade and SMEs, while the government portal in August 2026 lists it as the Ministry of Trade, SMEs and Youth Entrepreneurship. Its Directorate General of Trade handles import, export and trade facilitation matters. In 2025 the ministry held workshops on the national mapping of non-tariff barriers, a central issue for traders in the subregion. The contact details published on its website give avenue Jean Paul II in Libreville.
