The country’s scores for criminal markets and criminal actors are both relatively and equally low in comparison to other African countries, suggesting neither component is disproportionately driving the criminality score. Most criminal markets are considered as either non-existent or having little influence on society. However, flora crimes in Equatorial Guinea have a score of 9, indicating a severe negative influence on nearly all parts of society – largely due to unsustainable logging practices, of which 100% is thought to be illegal. Moreover, illegal oil-related activities are common, leading non-renewable resource crimes to be scored at 6. There is a large disparity in the influence of different criminal actors in Equatorial Guinea. State-embedded actors are by far the most influential, scoring 9. Under resilience, in 48th place Equatorial Guinea ranks as one of Africa’s least-resilient states, with only two resilience indicators exceeding a score of 2. High levels of government involvement in criminal activity, and the profits the government makes from these illicit markets, mean there is little incentive for the state apparatus to combat organised crime in the country.
