Analysis# Guinea-Bissau Total Investment
Guinea-Bissau's total investment stands at 19.064% of GDP in 2026, representing a modest recovery from recent lows but still substantially below historical peaks. The nation's investment ratio peaked at 24.273% of GDP in 2007, before declining significantly over the subsequent two decades. Since 2004, total investment has contracted by 9.1 percentage points, with the lowest point reached in 2015 at 14.975% of GDP—a 9.3-point collapse from the 2007 peak.
Recent years show gradual stabilization after hitting bottom in 2015. Investment rebounded to 17.223% by 2023 and has continued climbing through 2026. The upward trajectory from 2023 onward suggests renewed investor confidence, with annual growth averaging around 0.8 percentage points. Maintaining this recovery will be critical for Guinea-Bissau's economic development, as sustained investment at or above 19% could support long-term productivity gains.
