      Economy Angola

      Economy - overview:

       Angola has been an economy in disarray because of a quarter century

       of nearly continuous warfare. An apparently durable peace was

       established after the death of rebel leader Jonas SAVIMBI on

       February 22, 2002, but consequences from the conflict continue

       including the impact of wide-spread land mines. Subsistence

       agriculture provides the main livelihood for 85% of the population.

       Oil production and the supporting activities are vital to the

       economy, contributing about 45% to GDP and more than half of

       exports. Much of the country's food must still be imported. To fully

       take advantage of its rich natural resources - gold, diamonds,

       extensive forests, Atlantic fisheries, and large oil deposits -

       Angola will need to continue reforming government policies and to

       reduce corruption. While Angola made progress in bringing inflation

       down further, from 325% in 2000 to about 106% in 2002, the

       government has failed to make sufficient progress on reforms

       recommended by the IMF such as increasing foreign exchange reserves

       and promoting greater transparency in government spending. Increased

       oil production supported 7% GDP growth in 2003.
