> Guinea Equatorial Airlines, the country's oldest business corporation, founded in 1996.
The number looks more like 1962 to me (maybe they changed it).
The actual youngest seems to be South Sudan's Ivory Bank, which was only founded in 1994. This is easily explained by the country being relatively new.
