The fiscal consolidation trajectory initiated during the second half of 2025 consolidates the country's position below the 3% convergence norm set by the Economic and Monetary Community of Central Africa (CEMAC), with the index having gradually declined from 2.9% in August 2025 to 2.8% in September, 2.6% in October and 2.4% in November. The easing stems from a slowdown in the cost of imported products, whose year-on-year growth pace slipped from 3.4% to 3%, correlated with a more pronounced deceleration in the prices of local goods, which fell from 2.8% to 1.9%. 

On the sectoral front, the tertiary sector recorded a spectacular decline, falling from 6% to 1.1%, mirrored by the primary sector, which eased from 6.2% to 3.5%, while the secondary sector posted a rise to 4.1% against 2% a year earlier. The executive neutralizes speculation through bulk food purchases from global suppliers resold to local wholesalers at subsidized rates. Geographically, regional disparities persist: Malabo and Ebibeyin record a peak of 4.3%, driven by transport at 9.2% in the capital and medical care at 14.1% in the Ebibeyin district, in contrast to the more moderate trends observed in Bata at 0.4%, Mongomo at 1.2% and Evinayong at 2%.

The direct bulk purchase of foodstuffs from international traders secures supply for the domestic distribution network. The signing of price-framing agreements with private operators preserves the purchasing power of urban households against global market fluctuations.

Constant surveillance of commercial circuits by control brigades limits unjustified price hikes on market stalls. Aligning the consumer price index below the regulatory threshold of the CEMAC zone strengthens macroeconomic stability and the financial credibility of Equatorial Guinea.
