Guinea-Bissau
Cooperation between the African Development Bank and Guinea-Bissau dates back to 1976. Since then, the Bank has provided financing totaling UA 295 million, equivalent to nearly FCFA 232 billion ($418 million). The portfolio covers agriculture, water and sanitation, energy, transport, governance and the social sector (mainly education and health). The predominant financing modalities are loans/grants, mainly from the resources of the African Development Fund, the concessional arm of the Bank Group.
Real GDP growth dropped to 3.7% in 2022 from 6.4% in 2021 due to inflationary pressures that limited private consumption on the demand side and lower manufacturing and primary sector on the supply side. Inflation rose to 7.9% in 2022 from 3.3% in 2021, driven by higher prices for imported food and oil. The budget deficit widened to 6.3% of GDP in 2022 from 5.6% in 2021 due to temporary measures to curb the effects of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, irregular hiring of workers, and expenses linked to upcoming elections.
