Angola

Angola is one of sub-Saharan Africa's largest oil producers, and petroleum dominates its economy, providing most exports and government revenue after decades of civil war ended in 2002.

Heavy oil dependence, debt (much of it owed to China), and inequality remain challenges, and the government has sought to diversify, though progress is slow.

Key Sectors

The economy is dominated by oil, with diamonds and largely subsistence agriculture; most non-oil needs are imported, and China is a major creditor and partner.
