Introduction • Angola is strategically located on the Atlantic Coast of West • Africa, acting as a gateway to Southern and Central Africa by road and railroad networks. • Angola holds approximately 12% of Africa’s hydrographic network and 7.4 million ha of arable land. • Angola is one of the fastest growing economies in the world, anticipating a GDP of 7.1% in 2013. • From 2002 to 2008, average GDP stood at 15.3%. • From 2000 to 2012, average GDP stood at 8%. • The IMF has stated that Angola’s governance and accountability are good.
As recommended by the IMF, international revenue reserves stand at over USD 30 billion, helping to stabilize the inflation rate of Angola’s currency, the Kwanza. • The Angolan government’s main goals are to revamp and develop the economy by diversification, prioritizing the rehabilitation and construction of basic infrastructure, to enable the flow of people and goods, as a result of private investment in agriculture, agri-business, industry and fisheries. • The main target is to reduce poverty and regional asymmetries.

Strategy • -Privatization, so that resources managed by the state could be transferred to the private sector. • -Integration of Angolan transportation network into the SADC network. • - Creation of authorities on an institutional level for the planning of road network. • Creation of public institutes as regulatory bodies for different transportation subsectors. • - Development of the three main corridors, originating from ports, by regenerating rail companies. • - Revamping and modernizing ports and the shipping sector, bringing in private enterprise and appropriate management to re-establish the competitiveness of national companies. • - Institutional reorganization and strengthening.
Areas of Investment • Road Transportation • -Interprovincial and intermunicipal passenger transportation. • - Medium and long haul transportation of goods. • Rail Transportation • - State ownership and operation, through the CFL, CFB and CFM. • -Open to private investment in the concession process, arrangement of funds, technical assistance and repairs, and supply of rolling stock, communications, etc. • The government has approved a preliminary study, called “Ango Ferro”, to refurbish, upgrade, construct and extend the whole of Angola’s rail network.
Areas of Investment • Corridors • - Malange, Lobito and Namibe. • The government believes that these three corridors warrant the same degree of priority, constituting an open area in which both public and private investment can operate, since they act as a support for the development of the national economy, access to the sea for land-locked countries, and stimulate regional development. • Ports • - Open to private investment in the concession process, arrangement of funds, technical assistance, supply of equipment, communications, etc. • - Leasing port: Luanda. • Operating ports: Lobito, Namibe, Cabinda, Soyo and Porto Amboim.
