Share of World GDP: Equatorial Guinea

Analysis# Equatorial Guinea Share of World GDP Equatorial Guinea currently accounts for 0.016% of world GDP in 2026, representing a significant decline from its all-time peak of 0.039% in 2009. This figure remains substantially higher than the country's 1980 baseline of 0.001%, marking a 1500% increase over four decades. Despite this long-term growth, recent years show contraction rather than expansion in the nation's global economic footprint. The country's economic trajectory peaked during the oil boom of the late 2000s but has contracted steadily since 2017. From 2017 to 2026, Equatorial Guinea's share declined from 0.023% to 0.016%, reflecting vulnerability to commodity price fluctuations and resource dependency. Projections through 2030 suggest this downward trend will persist, with the economy unlikely to recover its 2009 prominence without diversification beyond petroleum exports.
