More about Guinea
- REMZFAMILY: Modern history of Guinea from World War I to today, covering all major events on politics, economy, society, and technology.
Business
Although Guinea is rich in mineral resources (bauxite, iron ore, nickel, diamonds, gold, etc.) and has considerable agricultural potential, it is one of the poorest countries in the world. The mismanagement under the former President Touré led to a decline in the infrastructure and extensive isolation of the country. After the dictator’s death (1984), a liberalization of the economy was initiated with foreign support and some of the unprofitable state companies were privatized or dissolved. From 2000, however, the government began to prevent further reforms. A lack of transparency and high levels of corruption subsequently hindered foreign direct investment. The temporary suspension of international aid after the military coup in 2008 as well as the effects of the international economic and financial crisis in 2008/09 and the outbreak of the Ebola epidemic in 2014 also worsened the economic situation. Guinea is suffering from an almost double-digit inflation rate (2014: 9.7%), a persistently negative current account and high foreign debt (2013: US $ 1.64 billion). That Gross national income (GNI) per resident is (2017) US $ 820. One of the most important tasks of politics is the establishment of a versatile economic structure in order to overcome the one-sided dependence on bauxite mining. At present, the agricultural sector generates 20.1% of the gross domestic product (GDP), industry (including mining and construction) generates 37.6% and the service sector 42.3%.
Foreign trade: The foreign trade balance (import value 2015: 1.94 billion US $; export value: 1.81 billion US $) is heavily dependent on the world market prices of Guinean mining products, which account for 91.3% of goods exports in terms of value. The main exports are bauxite, clay, gold, diamonds and coffee. Mainly capital and intermediate goods, petroleum products and foodstuffs are imported. The most important trading partners are China, Chile, the Netherlands, Spain, India and France. Check harvardshoes to see African Economy Overview.
Agriculture
Around 79% of the population live from agriculture, which is primarily operated for their own use. In addition to rice, the main food, mainly millet, cassava, plantains and corn are grown, while coffee, cocoa, citrus fruits, pineapples and peanuts are grown for export. Despite the favorable climatic conditions, especially in Lower Guinea, the yields are insufficient to provide basic supplies for the population. Therefore, rice, but also wheat and dairy products, have to be imported while the livestock industry meets the country’s need for meat.
Forestry: Due to extensive deforestation, Guinea’s forests continued to decline. While at the beginning of the 1990s over 60% of the country’s area was designated as forest area, today only 26% (especially the south-east) of the country is forested. The largest part (around 95%) of wood production (2011: 12.7 million m 3) is used as firewood.
Fisheries: Licensed sea fishing has been restricted as overfishing has reduced the once high-yielding fish stocks in the Guinean 12-mile zone; inland fishing has so far only played a role for local supply.
Natural resources
Mining is the most important part of the Guinean economy. In terms of mineral resources, bauxite (production 2013: 17.6 million t.) Comes first. Guinea has around a quarter of the world’s known reserves and is one of the largest suppliers on the world market. The bauxite mining began in 1937; The largest mine is the Boké-Sangarédi complex in the hinterland of the port city of Kamsar. The centers of diamond mining are in the forested southeast; Gold is mined mainly in northeastern Guinea. Iron ore, copper, manganese, nickel, platinum, titanium, uranium, zinc and tin are also mined.
Energy industry
The existing hydroelectric potential (estimated: 6,600 MW) is increasingly being used to generate energy. In 2012, around 32% of the electricity produced was generated by hydropower. Much of the consumption came from mining and the capital, Conakry. The supply for industry, cities and rural areas is to be improved by further hydropower plants. In 2015, the new Kaléta dam with a generation capacity of 240 MW was completed with Chinese support.
Industry
The share of manufacturing in GDP is around 7%; the regional focus is the Conakry area. Mainly food, textiles, paints and building materials are produced. The largest industrial company is the alumina plant in Fria.
Tourism
Guinea has a great tourist potential, which, however, has hardly been used due to the political instability and the lack of infrastructure. Special attractions are the waterfall La Voile de la Mariée (German bridal veil) near Kindia, the beaches of the Los Islands off Conakry, trekking paths in Fouta-Djalon and sandstone cliffs in the north of the country.
