Guinea's National Assembly adopted the spending side of the revised 2026 budget on November 7, setting total spending at 67,925.87bn GNF (€6.86bn), 5.83% above the initial law, news sites Guinee7 and Avenirguinee reported. Investment spending falls 10.13% to 23,562.27bn GNF (€2.38bn) as projects are postponed. Meanwhile, 176 of the 339 projects identified under the Simandou 2040 program receive 10,137.65bn GNF (€1.02bn), Guinee7 said.
Analysis: Total spending rises while investment falls, so spending other than investment grows by about 6.4tn GNF (€647mn), by our calculation. That includes the fuel price freeze, which the budget costs at 5.49tn GNF (€555mn) in forgone taxes and stabilization funds, Avenirguinee reported. Interest on public debt offsets part of the increase, budgeted 19.5% lower at 3.84tn GNF (€388mn). In the Simandou 2040 program, 52% of identified projects are funded this year and less mature projects move to 2027. Ecofinance Guinée, however, put investment at about 39% of the budget presented, against 34.7% in the adopted figures. The law awaits promulgation, and no date has been announced.
