Guinea Central Bank projects Simandou revenue to hit $2.5B by 2040
What happened
The Central Bank of the Republic of Guinea announced that revenue from the Simandou iron ore project is expected to reach approximately US$350 million in 2026, according to Ousmane Kaba. Kaba projected that this state income would grow to US$1.5 billion annually, eventually reaching US$2.5 billion by 2040. The Central Bank also stated it would manage excess money if prices begin to rise.

Why it matters
The projections indicate a massive increase in state income for Guinea from a single mining operation, which is expected to match the combined revenue of other mining projects. The Central Bank's stated policy of managing excess capital addresses potential inflationary pressures from large dollar inflows.
