Economist Oscar da Mata argues that it is urgent to refound Angola's economic model, considering that the State should have a less interventionist role in the economy. According to the specialist, the responsibility for the economic development of countries does not necessarily have to go through state intervention as the engine of development.
Angola formally adopted a market economy model, but according to Oscar da Mata there is clearly an excess of State intervention in the economy. This excess has prevented the country from progressing more efficiently.
The economist alerts to a situation of "urgency of change," linking it to Angola's demographic evolution. This demographic factor creates additional pressure that demands a profound transformation in the way the country's economy is managed.
