The Government of Angola’s ambition for wide-ranging reforms to diversify the economy away from oil, increase foreign and domestic investment and promote development of the private sector is impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and its effects on commodity prices. There is also increasing recognition that economic recovery in Angola must be inclusive and environmentally sustainable, supporting citizens’ income and livelihoods.
