Guinea Government Revenue
General government revenue as % of GDP GGR_NGDP
Guinea's government revenue was 17.19% in 2025, ranked 155th globally. This represents a 10.4% increase from 2024. Data from IMF WEO, covering 1990–2025.
Overview
Guinea's government revenue stood at 17.19% in 2025, a rise of +1.62% from 2024. The IMF projects 17.19% by 2025. Guinea ranked 155th globally.
Guinea’s government revenue has risen modestly from 14.96 percent of GDP in 1990 to 17.19 percent in 2025, placing it 155th in the global ranking and just below peers such as Kenya (17.23 percent) and Côte d’Ivoire (17.42 percent). The trajectory is marked by a pronounced peak of 43.27 percent in 2012, followed by a sharp decline to an all‑time trough of 9.13 percent in 2004, after which revenue has hovered in the mid‑teens for more than two decades. The post‑trough recovery reflects gradual improvements in tax administration and modest growth in extractive sector royalties, yet the current level remains well below the 1990‑2000 average for comparable Sub‑Saharan economies. Structural constraints, including a narrow tax base and limited fiscal capacity, continue to cap revenue growth. Strengthening domestic tax collection and diversifying the fiscal mix could lift Guinea’s revenue share and shift its long‑term trajectory upward.
