About Equatorial Guinea
Equatorial Guinea has been one of the fastest growing economies in the world since large-scale commercial exploitation of oil began in the 1990s. It remains one of Africa’s fastest growing economies and also one of the main destinations of foreign investment. Equatorial Guinea recorded one of the highest levels of GDP per capita in Africa, estimated at about USD 20 000 in 2007; a status attained in the wake of the oil boom.
Career opportunities therefore abound for skilled graduates and professionals. The country attracts a large number of immigrants from other African countries. But given the small population and low human resource base the government plans to review immigration laws with a view to attracting skilled foreign labour.
