The Angolan government spent about US$100 billion on infrastructure construction between 2002 and 2015, the Economy and Planning minister said on Tuesday in Luanda.
Minister Pedro Luís da Fonseca said that despite the large amount of capital invested in infrastructure, such as roads, railways, bridges, schools and hospitals, this was not enough for the country to be able to rise by several places in the Competitiveness Index.

Fonseca stressed, however, that it is necessary to adjust public spending to tax revenue, given the country’s financial situation, “to enable Angola to move towards the stability necessary to promote economic growth.
