Historical A French colony during 60 years (from 1899 to 1958), Guinea obtained
Overview her independence on October 2, 1958.
Ahmed Sékou Touré was the first President of the Republic of Guinea. He engaged the country in a marxist system systematically excluding private initiative. Upon his death on March 26, 1984, the armed forces took over power, with Major General Lansana Conté at their head. He chose to opt right away for liberal economy.
Full multipartism is now re-established and all democratic institutions are in place.
Location Guinea is situated in West Africa and has a 300 Km coastline on the Atlantic Ocean. It hasborders with six countries: Guinea Bissau North- west, Senegal North, Mali North and North-east, Côte d'Ivoire East, Sierra Leone and Liberia South.
Geograhical Guinea has a 245.857 SqKm area divided into four natural regions: Lower Guinea (Maritime Guinea), Middle Guinea (Fouta Djallon), Upper Guinea (the Mandingue) and Forest Guinea (Guinean Dorsal).
It is a country with mountains, plains and plateaux. The two most mountainous regions are the Fouta Djallon and the Guinean Dorsal. These mountains are set within plateaux. The latter run down eastward towards the Niger valley and West on a coastal and swampy plain.
Mangrove is the characteristic vegetation for Maritime Guinea, grassland savanah and wooded savanah are the characteristic vegetation for Upper Guinea; and dense forest is the characteristic vegetation for Forest Guinea.
The main rivers of which countries in West Africa are awash overall have their sources in Guinea. What earned her the nickname of "West Africa Water Tower".
______________________________________________________________
Climate Guinea has an equatorial climate in its forest region and a tropical climate with monsoon, harmattan and relief influence in the three other natural regions. Temperatures are usually high, with a 25 to 30°C average.

Lower Guinea groups 37% of total population, Middle Guinea 24%, Upper Guinea 21%, Forest Guinea 18 %.
Life expectancy is 49 years. Almost 50 % of the population in the 15 to 65 years old age braket is active.
___________________________________________________________________________

Economy
top
________________________________________________________________
Economic The country's economy is heavily dependent on the mining sector which environment contributes 19% of exports earnings, 29% of the State's own earnings and 40,000 jobs.
Since 1996, Guinea prides herself with:
- monetary and exchange stability ;
- consolidation of foreign currencies reserves ;
- diminishing of inflation ; and
- cautious management of national debt.
This translated into real growth of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) by 4.4% in 1995, and by 4.6% in 1996, owing mainly to the primary sector, notably agriculture and mining. This increase was the result of the various structural reforms implemented with support from the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) including:
- suppression of price control ;
- trade liberalization ;
- improvement of taxation with introduction of the Value Added Tax (VAT) ;
- reduction of the role of the public sector ;
- revision of the banking legislation ;
- liberalization of exchange rates, creation of a market for treasury notes ;
- introduction of indirect instruments of monetary control.
These reforms made it possible to obtain support from major international institutions such as the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) following the granting of a US $ 96.8 million loan over three years under the Reinforced Structural Adjustment Facility (RSAF). Moreover the Paris Club has agreed to the rescheduling of part of the guinean debt, i.e. US $ 125 million.Currency The Republic of Guinea has its own currency, the Guinean Franc (GNF = Guinea New Franc). It is a currency which is not convertible. The rate of exchange of the Guinean Franc in relation to major currencies is fixed by the interbank foreign exchange market according to the mechanisms of supply and demand.
Opening foreign exchange bureaux, capital transfer and opening foreign currencies accounts with banks are free. The new monetary policy measures implemented have allowed the development of financial intermediation and the increase of incentives to savings.
___________________________________________________________________________
Resources Agriculture : The sector represents approximatively 20% of GDP. Agricultural areas are estimated at 6.5 million ha. of which 20% are cultivated. The main crops are: pineapple, banana, coffee, cocoa, rice, maize, fonio, cassava, potatoes, rubber, cotton, tobacco, korité, etc.
______________________________________________ Forests : The natural forests cover 100,000 sqkm and cultivated forests about 40,000 sqkm.
__________________________________________________________
Fishing : The guinean coast, over 300 km on the shore of the Atlantic Ocean is rich with large halieutic resources and provides huge potential for extension of industrial fishing, little exploited up until now.
__________________________________________________________
Mining : Mining industry is dominant in the guinean economy, with bauxite as the main mineral resource of Guinea. Reserves are estimated at 18 billion tonnes of bauxite with 60% AL203 content (i.e. more than one third of world reserves). Guinea currently is the second world bauxite exporter and intervenes for 40% of this minerals'world market. Other mineral resources are diamonds (reserves of 25 to 30 million carats), iron (6.5 billion tonnes), gold (1.000 tonnes), manganese, zinc, cobalt, nickel, uranium etc...
_________________________________________________________
Energy : A recoinaissance of sites for dams has made it possible to estimate the potential production of hydroelectric power at nearly 100 billion kwh per year; i.e. more than 100 times the actual consumption. The Garafiri hydroelectric dam, undergoing construction, will be operational in 1999, and studies for the Kaleta and Fomi hydroelectric stations are available. The forecasted capacity of these three stations is in the range of 300 MW.
