Guinea: World’s Best Kept Secret

THE REPUBLIC OF GUINEA IS THE WORLD'S BEST-KEPT SECRET

The path of Guinea, from poverty to prosperity, is paved with natural resources… The Guinean government has set up two essential elements of good governance in the management of natural resources: the revised Mining Code and a review of existing mining contracts will ensure that they comply with the legitimate interests of the country. These governance pillars provide a receptive environment for private investment: equal treatment of investors and stable long-term agreements, based on the principle of mutual benefit that will withstand a changing environment.
