Mining framework in Guinea

I had a choice of several subjects for my dissertation, but Guinea being a new democracy and open to new investors, especially mining investors, deserved to know what made it so attractive. So, I chose the legal framework for mining in Guinea, and the protection afforded to foreign investment. As the world’s leading bauxite reserve, Guinea has set up various instruments to promote investment, such as the agency for the promotion of private investment (APIP). Indeed, it has been winning the confidence of investors since 2010, and 6 years later, the World Bank’s Doing Business report ranked it 6th among African countries with the strongest progress. In this book, we show several factors that play a part in making Guinea the new destination for mining companies, from the promotion of private and foreign investment to the tax advantages, legislative means and favorable investment framework.
