Western africa's newest commerical hub
White Storm Capital, an Equatorial
Guinean company with offices in
Malabo and Houston, Texas (USA),
specializes in assisting international
businesses invest in EG, across a wide
range of sectors.
EG remains an as-yet relatively little
known African country, still with a
great deal of potential.
Following an era of socioeconomic
development that was initiated by
the discovery and commercialization
of oil, EG is now actively engaged in
diversifying its growing economy.
This small African country, with a
population of just over 1 million, and
an area of 28,051 square kilometers,
bordering Cameroon to the north,
Gabon to the south and east, and
the Gulf of Guinea to the west, is not
only the third-largest oil producer in
sub-Saharan Africa with a GDP per
capita amongst the highest in the
region, but also Western Africa’s
newest most dynamic business hub.

Oil wealth has wisely been, and
continues to be, reinvested in
business-supporting sectors, hard
and soft infrastructure including
roads, airports, ports, schools,
and hospitals. The now existing
infrastructure, alongside political
and economic stability, ease of
access to neighboring countries
through membership in the CEMAC
economic block, financial incentives,
a successful track record of hosting
some of Africa’s biggest events, and
a range of regulatory reforms and
government initiatives aimed at
improving the business environment
have noticeably enhanced the
country’s appeal as a destination
for foreign investment.
The industrial city of Mbini, when
built, will serve as a special economic
zone and will make registering
businesses in EG even easier.
Bata, EG’s second largest city and
former capital, is the gateway to
the African mainland. Picturesquely
set on the Gulf of Guinea’s coast,
There's a future in equatorial guinea and
you should be part of it!

Horizonte 2020 plan, which are open to foreign investors:
amongst lush jungles and sprawling
beaches, it should be on every African
traveler’s itinerary. Furthermore, its
updated transportation infrastructurehighway network, port, airport, and
a planned rail connection to industrial
centers- make it an appealing choice
for investors.
Today, EG is home to American, Swiss,
British, Chinese, Spanish, Russian,
French, Brazilian, and Japanese
companies, and expects to attract
many more foreign businesses in the
near future.

Word from the
President
"As a native Equatorial Guinean, I have seen our country grow and develop
into the dynamic and increasingly diversified business hub it has become
today. When I think of its progress, I'm reminded of how fortunate I am
to have been able to contribute to its growing economy and economic
sustainability. I am proud of White Storm Capital's contributions to raising
awareness of this beautiful country.
This is such an incredible time to be
part of something so phenomenal.
Equatorial guinea's potential is
phenomenal!
Things aren't perfect by a long shot, but this oil-rich country, with all of its
natural resources, an entrepreneurial population, and an ever-improving
infrastructure, will soon become a place that many will seek out from all over
the world- to start businesses, build schools, and tour its historical sites and
natural splendors- thereby helping Equatorial Guinea realize its potential.
This is such an incredible time to be part of something so phenomenal.
Equatorial Guinea's potential is phenomenal!"
