Overview of Equatorial Guinea

Equatorial Guinea is located in west-central Africa, on the coast of the Gulf of Guinea, and consists of a continental part (the region of the Muni River) and an island part (the islands of Bioko, Annobón, etc.), with the capital, Malabo, located on the island of Bioko. The country has a population of about 1.4 million, with Spanish, French and Portuguese as the official languages, and is a multi-ethnic country, dominated by the Fang and Bubi ethnic groups.

The economy is dependent on oil and gas exports, and was once one of the higher GDP per capita countries in sub-Saharan Africa, but is structurally homogenous, with agriculture dominated by cocoa and coffee cultivation. Culturally, it is a blend of traditional tribal and Spanish colonial influences, with a distinctive music and dance scene, and in recent years has been promoting economic diversification.
