President Brice Oligui Nguema of Gabon has replaced Finance Minister Henri-Claude Oyima, according to an official decree, as the country faces a tightening liquidity situation and rising arrears.

The change comes as public finances are under strain, prompting questions about the management of the oil-dependent economy.

Authorities have not given further details on the reasons for the move or whether it signals broader shifts in economic policy.
