      Economy Guinea

      Economy - overview:

       Guinea possesses major mineral, hydropower, and agricultural

       resources, yet remains an underdeveloped nation. The country

       possesses over 30% of the world's bauxite reserves and is the

       second-largest bauxite producer. The mining sector accounted for

       about 75% of exports in 1999. Long-run improvements in government

       fiscal arrangements, literacy, and the legal framework are needed if

       the country is to move out of poverty. Fighting along the Sierra

       Leonean and Liberian borders, as well as refugee movements, have

       caused major economic disruptions, including a loss in investor

       confidence. Foreign mining companies have reduced expatriate staff,

       while panic buying has created food shortages and inflation in local

       markets. Guinea is not receiving multilateral aid. The IMF and World

       Bank cut off most assistance in 2003. Growth should strengthen in

       2004, however, because of a slowly improving security situation and

       increased investor confidence.

      GDP:

       purchasing power parity - $19.02 billion (2003 est.)

      GDP - real growth rate:

       3% (2003 est.)
