As an oil-rich nation that is politically stable (compared to many of its regional neighbours), Angola has a growing middle class and demand for healthcare is climbing. However there are considerable gaps between the needs of the affluent, urban population, and those living in isolated, rural parts of the country. The burden of disease also differs considerably between these two geographies. Traditionally much of the funding for pharmaceuticals and healthcare infrastructure has come from international aid agencies and governments, and is channelled into improving...http://www.marketreportsonline.com/239697-chevron-lucapa-oi.htmlThe Chevron - Lucapa Oil Field Development - Angola - Construction Project Profile contains information on the scope of the project including project overview and location.

We expect inflation to moderate somewhat overthe year, and access to credit for many Angolans to improve, which should serve to boost car sales over theyear. Further, we expect the exchange rate to remain relatively steady over the course of the year, whichshould help to stabilise the cost of imported vehicles into the country and further boost sales.As with many emerging markets, the used car segment is far more substantial than the new car market. Weexpect this to remain the case for some time in An...http://www.marketreportsonline.com/231730-angola-oil-and-ga.htmlBMI View: The Angolan hydrocarbon market has made several steps forward since the beginning of 2013. These include the start-up of production at BP&#39;&#39;s PSVM field and a final investment decision on Chevron&#39;&#39;s Mafumeira Sul project. The industry is nonetheless impaired by numerous delays and stringent aboveground instabilities. Attempts to cut gas flaring and the opening of the Angola LNG plant will boost the outlook for gas production and exports, although recurrent delays have pushed back the project&#39;&#39;s starting date.

In addition toincreased spending in the FY2013 budget, which is in line with the 2013-2017 National Development Plan,we also see continued investment from Chinese companies to support national resource extraction.Consequently, we are forecasting growth of 15.1% and 14.4% in 2013 and 2014 respectively.Angola''s construction industry is expected to be boosted by a combination of government investment,supported by a drive to develop infrastructure to support economic diversification ...http://www.marketreportsonline.com/222303-angola-power-repo.htmlUnlike many of its Sub-Saharan neighbours, Angola is not overly dependent upon hydroelectric powerstations to meet its energy requirements; thermal sources of power account for nearly a third of theelectricity-generating mix, reducing the incidence of outages. That said, there are considerable disparities inaccess to energy; with many rural areas poorly served, so much investment is needed in its transmission anddistribution infrastructure to improve electrification rates. With rich natural resources, Angola has energyhungryindustries operating in the country, particularly in the Cabinda exclave.

New areas of mining, including iron ore, copper and phosphates, are also receivingincreasing international interest from investors and are expected to provide further momentum for Angola''smining sector over the long term. That said, we do not expect the mining sector to receive much attentionfrom the government as the country''s burgeoning oil sector attracts the lion''s share of investment. Therefore,problems relating to mining such as...http://www.marketreportsonline.com/222301-angola-autos-repo.htmlIn view of the ongoing transport modernisation programme in Angola, we remain highly optimistic aboutthe growth potential in the country''s autos industry. In 2013, we forecast vehicle sales to grow 20% y-o-y,to 54,200 units, after an estimated 23% y-o-y growth in 2012. Growth will be also supported by Angola''srapid economic growth, which our macroeconomic expects to stand at 8.7% in 2013, following anestimated 8.4% y-o-y growth in 2012.In the short term, we see conditions being particularly favourable for commercial vehicle sales in thecountry as a host of players enter the transportation sector to benefit from the ongoing modernisationprogramme.

Fears of civil unrest wereunfounded, and for current and potential investors, Dos Santos’ re-election will ensure political stabilityand continuity. Consequently a ‘business-as-usual’ attitude exists. The election results have not alteredour market forecasts for Angola’s healthcare and pharmaceutical market.

The opposition party won just 36 seats in Angola’s 220-seat parliament, andwhile UNITA is quoted as describing the elections as ‘unfair’ there has been no civil unrest reported.

We forecast average annual real growth of 13.75% between 2013 and 2017 –the highest in theregion. Aside from continued interest in the country’s energy sector, there are a number of projects underway in the transport and the housing sectors that provide optimism for sustained growth in the country’sconstruction industry.

Attempts to cut gas flaring also boost the outlook for gas production. Nevertheless, OPEC quotas, the risk of project delays and the Angolan political environment still imply a significant amount of uncertainty. Main trends and developments we highlight for Angola’s oil and gas sector are as follows: 􀂃 BMI expects oil production to increase from approximately 2.21mn barrels per day (b/d) in 2012 to 2.51mn b/d in 2021, as ambitious new projects that have recently come onstream, such as Pazflor (2...http://www.marketreportsonline.com/164940-angola-infrastruc.htmlBMI View: A severe infrastructure deficit and the number of projects currently underway in Angola – particularly in the transport and the housing sectors – mean we are optimistic with regard to sustained growth in the country’s construction industry. We forecast average annual real growth of 13.5% between 2012 and 2016, the highest in the region. The key factors driving our optimistic outlook are: 􀂃 There continues to be significant investment in reconstruction following the extensive civil war (1975-2002).

The country is making some progress towards diversifying its energy mix: some new thermal capacity is planned, and a LNG project is scheduled to begin construction in May 2012, but other areas, namely solar power, remain undeveloped.

For international investors, Angola’s pharmaceuticals and healthcare market holds limited appeal, with low spending, an abundance of counterfeit drugs, considerable operational risks due to little intellectual property(IP) protection or regulation and a burden of communicable and non-communi...http://www.marketreportsonline.com/161758-angola-mining-rep.htmlOverview We forecast that Angola's Mining industry will grow by 3.1% year-on-year (y-o-y) in 2012 in real terms. Growth is expected to remain stable thereafter with diamonds providing the main thrust for production growth over the medium term. However, we note increasing interest in new areas of mining including iron ore and phospahtes. Real growth in mining is forecast to average 3.98% y-o-y during the five years to 2016.

Despite the slight downgrade, Angola remains one of the most high potential markets in the broader Sub-Saharan region. Gradual improvements in road infrastructure are translating into an increased vehicle fleet in the country.

Angola's growth is set to be the sixth fastest in the world and the third fastest in Sub-Saharan Africa (after Ghana and Uganda), according to BMI forecasts. In 2011, real GDP growth is expected to reach 7.6%, boosted by a sizeable improvement in export revenues.
