• Main trade partners: Portugal, Brazil, France and USA.
Economy
Fishing, which almost ceased to exist, is now being rejuvenated with foreign aid. New oil and gas fields off the shore of Cabinda (an enclave in the north of the country) are being developed. However, Angola has only one refinery and so exports most of its oil in the crude form. The only other industry of any size is diamond mining.
Angola has successfully reduced inflation from 300% in 1999 to 12% in 2007, with growth at 21%.
