Overview
Guinea's gross savings stood at 5.43% in 2025, a decline of +4.17% from 2024. The IMF projects 5.43% by 2025. Guinea ranked 156th globally.
Guinea’s gross savings ratio has fallen dramatically from its all‑time peak of 47.58 % in 1993 to a trough of –7.78 % in 2013, reflecting prolonged fiscal imbalances and weak capital formation during the early 2000s. After a modest rebound, the indicator stood at 5.43 % in 2025, ranking 156th globally and placing Guinea just above Haiti’s 5.51 % and below Moldova’s 5.79 % among peers with similar saving performance. The 46‑year coverage shows that the post‑2013 recovery has been gradual, with savings remaining far below the 1980 level of 6.50 %, suggesting that structural constraints such as limited financial intermediation and volatile commodity revenues continue to suppress domestic resource mobilization. Continued reforms to broaden the tax base, improve public‑sector efficiency, and deepen financial markets could accelerate the upward trajectory of gross savings, potentially restoring a positive balance and supporting sustainable investment in the medium term.
