Investing in Angola - Doing business in a difficult market with massive potential

Eight years after the civil war, Angola’s reconstruction has made significant progress and the country may be poised for a step change in growth. The country is full of opportunities—not just in raw materials but in transport, infrastructure and financial services—yet the operating environment remains difficult.

Economist Conferences is launching a high-level one-day summit on business and investment in Angola. The first will take place in Cape Town on November 25th 2010 and the second in Luanda in 2011. The event will:

- Assess the economic outlook for Angola as the country moves from a period of reconstruction and oil-sector growth to a more broadly-based development path
- Provide a forum for current investors to provide a frank analysis of the opportunities, difficulties and risks to doing business in Angola
- Offer insights on the practicalities of doing business, including dealing with regulation, bureaucracy, and accessing finance
- Analyse the evolving economic and political relationship between South Africa and Angola and how this will affect South Africa-based businesses seeking to do business in Angola
- Invite senior government policymakers to participate in an interactive discussion about policy priorities and business environment issues
