Guinea’s economy is resource-rich, with mining (bauxite and gold) dominating exports, while agriculture supports the majority of the population. Growth is hindered by political instability, poor infrastructure, and corruption. Government policies focus on attracting foreign investment in mining and energy but face implementation challenges. Regulatory frameworks are weak, particularly in environmental management and land rights. Society struggles with poverty, low literacy rates, and limited access to basic services. Climate risks, including deforestation and extreme weather, threaten agriculture and water resources. Healthcare services are underfunded and heavily reliant on international aid.
