AGP Executive Report
Last update: 9 hours agoWorld Bank Update: Guinea-Bissau’s economy showed resilience in 2025, with real GDP growing 5.8% on a strong cashew harvest and better farmgate prices, while inflation fell to 0.9% and the fiscal deficit narrowed to 6.5% of GDP—though the report warns growth is still too dependent on one crop and is held back by weak labor productivity, high public debt, and a fragile financial sector. Private Sector Agenda: The World Bank says lasting prosperity will require a fairer tax system, broader access to finance, and stronger institutions so firms can raise productivity and create better jobs. Regional Politics: Guinea-Bissau’s leadership crisis is also spilling into ECOWAS diplomacy, with defence chiefs dismissing bribery allegations and internal ECOWAS divisions complicating stabilization efforts.
