Guinea: Joint Bank-Fund Debt Sustainability Analysis1
| Risk of external debt distress: | Moderate |
| Overall risk of debt distress | Moderate |
| Granularity in the risk rating | Limited space to absorb shocks |
| Application of judgment | Yes; breach of PV-of-public-debt-to-GDP ratio is short-lived and marginal. |
| Macroeconomic projections | The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has led to a large downward revision of short-term growth. Needed policy response to the crisis is expected to temporarily deteriorate the fiscal position. |
| Financing strategy | Guinea will rely mostly on concessional financing, with non-concessional loans to increase over time. |
| Realism tools flagged | None |
| Mechanical risk rating under the external DSA | Moderate |
| Mechanical risk rating under the public DSA | High |

Guinea is at moderate risk of external debt distress with limited space to absorb shocks. All external debt burden indicators under the baseline scenario, which accounts for the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, lie below their respective thresholds. Stress tests suggest that debt vulnerabilities will increase if further adverse shocks materialize. Under the most extreme stress tests, all solvency and liquidity indicators breach their thresholds for prolonged periods. The overall risk of public debt distress is also assessed to be moderate, with the application of judgement regarding a brief and marginal breach for the PV of total-public-debt-to-GDP ratio over 2020–21, reflecting higher-than-earlier anticipated external borrowing in 2020 to fill urgent balance of payment and fiscal financing needs due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the one-off impact of the 2018 recapitalization of the central bank.1 This assessment hinges on the anticipated rebound of the Guinean economy in 2021 and rephasing of non-priority projects to enable scaling-up health infrastructure. In view of downside risks and knife-edge results of the granularity tool, staff considers that Guinea has limited space to absorb shocks.

The Debt Sustainability Analysis (DSA) update was approved by Dominique Desruelle (IMF) and Marcello Estevão (IDA). Guinea’s Composite Indicator score, which is based on the October 2019 WEO and the 2018 World Bank’s CPIA, is 2.51 and its debt-carrying capacity is classified as weak. This update reflects debt service relief provided by the IMF under the CCRT, and by the Debt Service Suspension Initiative (DSSI) supported by the G-20 and Paris Club. The authorities have requested participation in the DSSI and indicated their intention to adhere to its commitments. It also incorporates financial assistance from the IMF under the RCF and additional support from the World Bank for the COVID-19 response, including emergency budget support. The coverage of public debt is as in the April 2020 DSA.
