This report evaluates the Observance of Standards and Codes on Fiscal Transparency for the Republic of Equatorial Guinea. Equatorial Guinea needs to improve transparency in many of the important elements of the Code of Good Practices on Fiscal Transparency, but a basis is being established to implement key fiscal transparency practices. An improved legal framework for fiscal management, in harmony with regional partners, has been put in place, notably through the 2003 Public Finance Law and the 2004 Tax Code.
