Guinea-Bissau

In Guinea-Bissau, agriculture is the largest sector, at 40.6% of output, just ahead of services at 39.1%. Industry contributes 15.7%, with manufacturing at 8.6%.

Real growth reached +5.8% in 2025, and US$ GDP rose 15.0% to US$2.5 billion; most of the extra dollar gain was exchange-rate and price effects, not output. The economy climbed 1 place to 175th, between Lesotho and Seychelles. Inflation stood at 0.9% and unemployment at 2.7%, while government gross debt is 75.1% of GDP.

With 2.2 million people, GDP per capita of US$1,124 ranks 179th, and 178th on a PPP basis. The long-run gain is notable: the economy measured US$391 million in 2000, when it ranked 181st, and has grown 6.5 times in dollar terms since. It is about the size of the Eagle Pass, TX metro area. The IMF projects GDP of US$3.9 billion by 2030, a +55% rise that would lift it to 165th.
