TRADE POLICY REVIEW: ANGOLA
Diversification of production and trade is essential for balanced development.

Since the end of the 30-year old civil war, Angola has made significant progress in fostering growth and stabilizing its economy, and has redoubled efforts for a better integration in the multilateral trading system both in regional end global terms, according to a WTO Secretariat report on the trade policies and practices of Angola.

The authorities are committed to trade liberalization as a means to secure the foundations for sustainable economic growth and poverty reduction, although effective production in various sectors still remains mainly through tariff escalation. Oil and diamonds dominate the export sector.

The report suggests that to consolidate recent improvements in macroeconomic performance, Angola needs to redevelop sectors other than the traditional oil and diamonds, and intensify the diversification of production and trade as well as rehabilitate the domestic infrastructure. Continued help in efforts for landmine clearance in conflict areas and providing urgent technical assistance would also help in the stabilization and development efforts.
