Angolan Market Portuguese workers and companies are heading to Angola at a faster pace than at any time since the southern African nation’s 1975 independence. Angola is Portugal’s biggest non-European export market. The number of Portuguese citizens registered in Angola rose 13 percent to 113,194 in 2012 from a year earlier, according to the Emigration Observatory in Lisbon. This includes people who acquired Portuguese nationality through marriage and Portuguese nationals born abroad. Angola’s economy has expanded every year since 1994, with growth peaking at 22.6 percent in 2007, according to the World Bank. The $114 billion economy will probably increase 5.1 percent this year, dos Santos said in his speech, lowering the estimate from 7.1 percent. bloomberg/news/2013-10-17/angola-s-dos-santos-threatens-portugal-trade-over-investigations.html
