Oscar da Mata: "Urgent to refound Angola's economic model"

Observador5 September 2026 at 09:56

Expert and author Oscar da Mata argues that it is urgent to refound Angola's economic model. This position was expressed in the context of an analysis on the role of the State in the country's economic development.

According to Oscar da Mata, the responsibility for economic development does not necessarily have to go through direct State intervention. The expert argues that there is no need to use the State as an engine of development.

Oscar da Mata's position emerges as a criticism of the economic model currently in force in Angola, suggesting that a paradigm shift would be beneficial for the country. The expert advocates a different approach to promoting Angolan economic growth.
