Guinea’s National Assembly president, Dansa Kourouma, says the state has recovered only 17% of the 1.2 trillion Guinean francs in confirmed tax claims from 45 large companies.

The president of Guinea’s National Assembly, Dansa Kourouma, said that the state had recovered only 17% of the 1.2 trillion Guinean francs in confirmed tax claims from 45 large companies, during the adoption of the revenue section of the 2026 supplementary finance law, according to Guinean media outlet Mosaiqueguinee.
Dansa Kourouma also reported that the Regulatory Authority for Posts and Telecommunications (ARPT) still owed 108 billion Guinean francs for 2025. No funds from assets seized or confiscated by court order had, moreover, reportedly been paid into the public treasury. Eighteen of the 34 listed public companies paid no dividends to the state in 2025, while SOGES and SOGEKA are awaiting nearly 2.594 trillion Guinean francs in unpaid bills accumulated by Électricité de Guinée (EDG), the parliamentary speaker said.
These findings come after Guinea’s budget revenue for 2026 was revised upwards to 60,064.47 billion Guinean francs in the revised budget, announced on 31 October.
