Angola is one of the largest economies in Sub-Saharan Africa. The oil sector remains decisive in exports and public revenue, alongside diamond and natural gas production.
The economic agenda of recent years is directed at diversification: agriculture, fisheries, manufacturing, energy and tourism are priority sectors, accompanied by a privatisation programme and reforms to the business environment.
The Lobito Corridor, linking the Atlantic port of Lobito to the interior of the continent, is among the infrastructure projects with the greatest impact on regional integration and international trade.
