I - COUNTRYPOLICIES AND UANRGROUP ASSISTANCE STRA5DGY Backaround 2. Angola,with a populationof about 10 million,growing at an annual rate of about 2.8 perceAt,is one of the richestcountries in Africa in terms of natural resourceendowment (e.g., oil, diamoads, and fertile land). At the same time, its economyis one of the most distortedof the continent.-Since independence in 1975,the countryhas developedan economy highlydependent on incomefrom oil. Availablestatistics on Angolaare poor and shouldbe treatedwith caution. GNP per capita,which is estimatedat US$620in 1989,is closelylinked to oil prices. The oil sectorrepresents abouthalf of the GDP. In 1991,oil exportearnings were aboutUS$3 billion, or aboutUS$300 per capita. The oil industry,developed as an enclave,has grown rapidlysince 1975, and by early 1991, oil productionreached about 460,000barrels per day. By contrast,the non-oilsector's performance has been poor since independence.It is estimatedthat non-oilsector's output growthper capitahas been negativesince the early 1980's. Angola,which was an importantnet exporterof agriculturalproducts before independence, has in recentyears been increasinglydependent on food imports (and food aid) to supplyits urban population.The capacityutilization of existing and the developmentof new manufacturingindustries has been severely affectedby the lack of inputs,spare parts and maintenanceservices, as well as by a distortedpolicy environment. S. The Government'sfailure to revivethe economyafter independence is largelyexplained by three factorsi(i) a fifteen-yearold civil war, which has made much of the countryside too insecure for agricultural production and transport,has required heavy military expenditures (contributingto chronicallylarge fiscal deficits,despite substantial revenuesfrom oil), and has destroyeda substantialpart of the economicand socialinfrastructures (ii) unusually severehbman resource constraints, due -2- to the massive exodus of Portuguesesettlers at independence; and (iii) misguided economic policies which have created a highly distorted system with a formal economy (largely public) managed by administrative controls, and a large parallel economy (mostly private). Ebconomic. Financial and Social Performance 4. Since independence, the Angolan economy has been ravaged by a long and costly civil war and by severe distortions commonly observed in centrally- plannedeconomies. The fall of domesticproduction and agriculturalexports that occurredafter independencewas primarilycaused by the destructionof the country'sstock of human and physical capital, and aggravatedby macroeconomicpolicies which favoredconsumption. In responseto adverse domestic conditionsand external shocks which reduced the country's resources,the Governmentresorted

  • Angolan Transport Infrastructures
    Angolan Transport Infrastructures (Re)Building for the Future Research December 2020 Infrastructure follows pattern of population and natural resources Angola’s population of around 31 million is unequally distributed across the country. Transport Infrastructures The most densely populated areas are around the capital (Luanda) and a few other Tiago Bossa Dionísio major cities (Cabinda, Benguela, Lubango and Huambo). Overall, the coast and the (+351) 964 643 530 southern and eastern parts of the country are less populated than the interior [email protected] highlands. The distribution of the Angolan population results, for the most part, from the devastating impact of the long-lasting civil war period (1975-2002). However, it is also influenced by the presence of vast natural resources and agricultural potential. The interior highlands are abundant in water resources and are, therefore, well suited for agriculture. The south and southeast are dry savanna while the far north is covered by rain forest. Angola’s oil fields are located in the coastal region in the north and west. The country is also rich in various minerals that are found in its western and central parts. Meanwhile, the distribution of infrastructure networks follows the pattern of the population and natural resources. As such, greater density of transport, power and information and communication technology infrastructure is located along the western half of the country. Local authorities have invested heavily in rebuilding infrastructure Angola’s transport infrastructure suffered extensive damage during the civil war period (1975-2002), with destruction and neglect leading to the closure of most of the road and rail networks.

City of Lobito has about 800 thousand population and the main industries are Benguela Railway, Petroleum, Cement, Brewery, Water and Sewer Company including Lobito Port Authority. The port has been constructed in 1903 by landfill of everglade. The port has the same location pattern as port of Luanda and good natural port. Main handling cargos are daily commodity and restoration related material such as construction material, oil, flour, sugar, grain and general cargo. At this moment, the restoration works of Benguela railways is underway and the port is expected to be important as international hub port for the countries like Zambia, Botswana and Zimbabwe who have no coast and Congo.

  • Angola and China: 1 a Pragmatic Partnership
    Angola and China: 1 A Pragmatic Partnership Indira Campos and Alex Vines1 Introduction Angola has enjoyed a period of sustained peace since April 2002 and is preparing for legislative elections in 2008—the first since 1992. From having one of the most protracted conflicts in Africa, Angola has within five years become one of the most successful economies in sub-Saharan Af- rica. Fuelled by record-high international oil prices and robust growth in both the oil and non-oil sector, Angola has experienced exceptionally high growth rates in recent years. In 2006, real GDP reached 18.6 percent, following the already impressive 20.6 percent in 2005. The IMF projects GDP growth to remain high at 23.4 percent in 2007 and 26.6 percent in 2008. Meanwhile, inflation has fallen from over 300 percent in 1999 to 12 percent in 2006, and surging oil revenues have led to large fiscal and external current account surpluses.2 With the war now over, rapid post-conflict reconstruction has become the government’s prior- ity. The People’s Republic of China (China) has in particular played an important role in assisting these efforts. Chinese financial and technical assistance has kick-started over 100 projects in the areas of energy, water, health, education, telecommunications, fisheries, and public works. On the occasion of Chinese prime minister Wen Jibao’s visit to Angola in June 2006, Angolan president Eduardo dos Santos described bilateral relations as being “mutually advantageous” partnerships that were “pragmatic” and had no “political preconditions.”3 With 2008 marking the 25th anniversary of the establishment of bilateral relations between the two countries, this paper takes a fresh look at the issue of Angola and China’s partnership.4 The study benefits from fieldwork carried out in Angola in September 2007 and January 2008 1.
