2 Angola Logistics Infrastructure

Angola - The World Factbook (cia.gov)

Angola has faced a destructive civil war that left many scars still to heal. Its transportation infrastructure has been severely damaged and still will take time to recover. The biggest share of the economy is on O&G business, with oil corresponding to almost 90% of exports (2019 data - https://oec.world/en/profile/country/ago).

There are plans to improve the infrastructure like the new airport (postponed to mid 2023 - https://angolaairport.net/airport/new-luanda-airport.html). There are plans for new investments in Angola, through different concessions. On 2019, it was issued the Investment Memorandum, stating plans of concessions, following the tender of one of the terminals at Port of Luanda (https://www.portoluanda.co.ao/documentos/3_MEMORANDO_INVESTIMENTO_EN.pdf)

Road network has around 75000 km, of which less than 20% is paved (https://documents1.worldbank.org/curated/en/544651589953904979/pdf/Angola-Road-Sector-Public-Expenditure-Review.pdf).  

Angola has the third largest economy and second largest oil producer of Sub-Saharan Africa. As part of the OPEC, Angola oil production levels have to follow the organization’s.

The economy is strongly dependent on oil, which from one hand contributed to have the fastest growth pace in the first decade of the years 2000, and from the other severe impacted due to oil prices drop.
