This study explores how Gabon's business policies have influenced East African economies through a qualitative lens. An interpretative phenomenological approach was employed, involving semi-structured interviews and document analysis to understand stakeholders' perspectives on business policies in the region. Key themes emerged including the impact of regulatory frameworks on investment decisions and the role of local businesses in economic development strategies. Gabon's business policies have had a significant influence on East African economies, with particular emphasis on regulatory stability and investor confidence as critical factors for success. Future research should consider longitudinal studies to track policy impacts over time and integrate more diverse stakeholder voices in policy formulation processes.
