Equatorial Guinea’s services sector has expanded dramatically over the past two decades, rising from a value‑added share of 15.69 in 2006 to 49.05 in 2025, placing the country at 142nd in the world. The most pronounced surge occurred after the 2008 trough of 15.41, with the sector reaching an all‑time high of 51.29 in 2020, reflecting the combined impact of rising oil‑linked service activities and modest diversification efforts. By 2025 the services share is marginally below the 2020 peak yet remains comparable to peers such as Turkmenistan (49.17) and Egypt, Arab Republic of (49.20), underscoring a convergence among middle‑rank economies. The continued upward trajectory suggests that further integration of digital platforms and expansion of tourism could sustain growth, while any slowdown in hydrocarbon revenues or external shocks could reverse the trend.
