Abstract: Gabon is characterized by being a rent based economy with a weak growth. Therefore, there is a real need to diversify its activities through industrialization. Foreign direct investments inflows are therefore essential. Gabon thus needs to be attractive and to develop opportunities in several sectors. In the aim of boosting FDI inflows, It is thus necessary to study the determinants of FDI. The analysis in main components allowed us to discriminate and to retain some active determinants which make of Gabon a paradox.
