Sao Tome and Principe

São Tomé & Príncipe continues to invest in transport, port and energy infrastructure to strengthen tourism, fisheries and regional trade potential. As a small island developing state, it faces high costs and limited fiscal capacity, relying on concessional financing and development partners to modernise electricity generation and maritime facilities. Enhancing institutional governance, improving public investment management and expanding renewable energy remain key to strengthening resilience and diversifying the economy.
