About the event |
|
iPAD Angola is the latest addition to the successful iPAD series. The goal in launching the iPAD series was to create a powerful and cost-effective source of knowledge to assist stakeholders – government, public and private sector, local and international investors – to strengthen their network and business footprint, build a valuable database of contacts and investigate investment opportunities in key sectors like power, mining, water, transport/construction, agriculture, ICT/telecoms, and finance. These events provide a forum for government and business to meet and explore opportunities for developing and investing in the infrastructure of the West, Central, East and Southern African regions.
iPAD Angola will continue this tradition by creating an enabling environment for business to flourish and grow, delivering insights into one of Africa’s most lucrative investment hubs. |

Industry News |
Angola is expected to be among the fastest growing African economies in 2010, with a GDP growth rate of 9%.
Although 2009 was a difficult year, a strong rebound is expected, which will be driven by rising oil output and higher oil prices. Oil output is likely to average 1.9 million barrels per day (mbpd) in 2010, compared to 1.8mbpd in 2009. Non-oil growth will benefit from rising government spending resulting from the improvement in the fiscal accounts. Infrastructure spending and agriculture will be key drivers of non-oil growth (the non-oil sector represents 40% of GDP).
