Delighted to be in Angola—a country celebrated for its rich heritage, cultural diversity, and vibrant rhythm. Its economic prospects are just as dynamic. Opportunities in agriculture, energy, tourism, mining, and manufacturing are creating new pathways for Angola to diversify beyond its traditional oil-based economy. With a young and rapidly growing population, the country has the human capital needed for industrialization, supported by government efforts to expand access to reliable energy. At IFC - International Finance Corporation, we are partnering with the private sector to attract the investment required to turn this transformation into reality. I look forward to engaging with leaders from government and business to explore how we can collaborate on creating jobs and unlocking the full potential of this growing economy.
