      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. 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 should

       bring about 6% GDP growth in 2003.
