Guinea OECD country risk classification upgrade

Overview

Guinea has received an upgrade in its OECD country risk classification, moving from category 7 to category 6. This change, effective as of October 16, 2026, is intended to determine minimum risk premiums for international export credit operations supported by public funding.

The upgrade is expected to improve Guinea’s financing prospects, trade, and large-scale development projects, potentially leading to more favorable financing conditions and lower risk premiums for sectors including mining, energy, transport, and industrial infrastructure.
