Overview

Equatorial Guinea is a small Central African country, rich in oil and gas reserves, which dominate its economy. Despite its natural wealth, a significant portion of the population lives in poverty, and governance challenges persist. The government is attempting to diversify the economy away from its heavy reliance on hydrocarbons.
