Services value added as % of GDP NV.SRV.TOTL.ZS

Overview
Guinea's services value added stood at 36.86% in 2025, a rise of +0.52% from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 36.86% by 2025. Guinea ranked 188th globally.
Guinea’s services value added rose from 28.29 in 1986 to a peak of 45.56 in 2007, before slipping to a trough of 25.99 in 2005 and recovering to 36.86 in 2025, placing the country at 188th in the world. The 2007 high reflected a brief expansion of informal trade and transport services, but the subsequent decline highlighted the vulnerability of the sector to external shocks and limited fiscal capacity. Over the past four decades the average contribution of services has remained modest compared with peers such as Guinea‑Bissau (36.91) and Mali (36.45), indicating structural constraints in diversifying the economy beyond agriculture and mining. The recent increase to 36.86 suggests modest progress, yet the sector’s share remains well below the regional average, underscoring the need for investment in digital infrastructure, vocational training and regulatory reforms. Continued reforms could accelerate service‑sector growth and shift Guinea’s trajectory upward in the coming years.
