Equatorial Guinea

A gas nation of 1.9 million on Bioko and the Gulf of Guinea coast, where forest covers 86% of the land and a $690 million gas project reached its investment decision in March 2026 as oil output declines.

Perfect Nations values what Equatorial Guinea owns and raises capital against it, through innovative financing for development (FfD) and super intelligence (SI).

Perfect Nations estimate, to be confirmed with Equatorial Guinea. Figures marked dated rest on surveys more than five years old; lenient measures are marked as such. The strict measures

Strict measures. Food: share not moderately or severely food insecure (FAO). Water: safely managed drinking water where measured; where it is not, basic water, marked as such. Shelter: the lower of safely managed sanitation and the share outside urban slums. Energy: the lower of electricity per person against 1,000 kWh and clean cooking; where electricity per person is not published, clean cooking. Education: the lower of children reading by the end of primary school and lower-secondary completion. Health: WHO service coverage index. Livelihood: share above the stricter of the national poverty line and the World Bank line for the nation’s income group (US$8.30 a day for high-income nations). Each figure links to its source.

    • 03What Perfect Nations advisesNations where education is furthest from reach should borrow on a Program-for-Results basis, releasing each tranche only when pupils reach an agreed learning level, verified independently. With super intelligence, reading levels can be tracked school by school, so that every child who falls behind is reached in time.

Perfect Nations® · Letters to the NationsEquatorial Guinea

Dear Equatorial Guinea,

Your oil built a state; your gas now carries it as the oil declines.

Read more

Your forests cover almost nine tenths of your land, and the Aseng project gives your state company a third of its gas. Fewer than one in five of your young people complete lower secondary school. Let the gas build the schools before it is gone.

“Gas for the next decade, forests for the next century, schools for every child now.”

Yours in design,Preeti SinhaPresident and CEO, Perfect Nations
