Over 150 people turned out last night for the International Monetary Fund’s (IMF) Angola Residential Representative Nicholas Staines’ presentation on the Angola economy. He told Angola Field Group participants that despite Angola’s large oil revenue, Angola is not a rich country and its long term economy should be focused on the non-oil producing sector.
