The Investment Code is intended to encourage and stimulate productive investment in Equatorial Guinea. It provides certain general guarantees such as no expropriation or nationalisation without a just and equitable prior compensation. There are specific customs and tax incentives for some activities such as the oil industry. Special incentives are also offered under tax regulations for companies located in non-coastal areas, including Annobó

Equatorial Guinea offers numerous services and incentives to investors, including significant reductions in taxes, fees and duties, a favourable regulatory regime and a one-stop shop in government to assist investors in getting established.
