White Storm Capital, an Equatorial Guinean company with offices in Malabo and Houston, Texas (USA), specializes in assisting internationalbusinesses 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 insub-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 includingroads, airports, ports, schools, and hospitals. The now existing infrastructure, alongside politicaland 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 atimproving 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 economiczone 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,
amongst lush jungles and sprawlingbeaches, it should be on every African traveler’s itinerary. Furthermore, its updated transportation infrastructure- highway 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.
With the aim of catalyzing EG’s socioeconomic development, the government has launched the plan for Horizonte 2020 and earmarked over $1 billion of funds for projects, which are to be jointly executed with international partners.

Word from the President
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!"
"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.
Deanna Rochelle Ngueket/CEO
