Equatorial Guinea’s economy is heavily reliant on oil and gas, which account for the majority of GDP and exports. Despite high per capita income, wealth distribution is highly unequal, with widespread poverty. Government policies focus on diversifying the economy and improving infrastructure, but progress is hindered by corruption and inefficiencies. Regulatory frameworks are weak, deterring foreign investment outside the energy sector. Society faces significant challenges in education and healthcare access. Climate risks, including rising sea levels and deforestation, threaten agricultural development. Healthcare services are underfunded, with limited capacity to meet public health needs.
