Key Takeaways
– Equatorial Guinea’s economy remains almost entirely dependent on hydrocarbons, with state-controlled giants GEPetrol, EG LNG, and Sonagas dominating the corporate landscape.
– The World Bank currently lists no available data for GDP growth, inflation, or unemployment — a telling indicator of how opaque the country’s economic management has become.
– President Teodoro Obiang continues to govern under a 1982 constitution that grants him sweeping powers, including rule by decree and control over all state institutions.
– The country’s business environment is defined by state-owned enterprises in oil, gas, and utilities, leaving little room for independent private-sector growth.
– For investors and analysts, the absence of reliable economic data is itself the story — a signal of governance failures that outweigh any potential opportunity in the energy sector.
