In a statement delivered on Tuesday, 3 February 2026, Angola’s President João Lourenço used a high‑profile platform in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, to underscore the significant structural reforms undertaken by his Government as part of a concerted effort to strengthen the national economy and
position Angola as an attractive destination for foreign and domestic investment.
The President stressed that ongoing reforms are designed to enhance the business environment, promote economic diversification beyond oil, and unlock opportunities across sectors such as agriculture, energy, mining, infrastructure and logistics, which are viewed as pivotal to sustainable
growth and employment creation.
Addressing international investors and forum delegates, Lourenço articulated the country’s commitment to macroeconomic stability, regulatory certainty and public‑private partnerships as critical elements in fostering confidence and facilitating long‑term capital inflows.
He also reiterated Angola’s readiness to support investment projects with institutional backing and a clear legal framework, reflective of broader efforts to modernise the economy and integrate the nation more deeply into global trade and investment networks.
The remarks come at a time when Angola is actively pushing structural reforms — ranging from improvements in fiscal policy to legal incentives for investors — aimed at accelerating private sector participation and reducing the economy’s dependence on hydrocarbons.
