Head of State defends regional convergence goals setting

The Angolan Head of State, José Eduardo dos Santos, on Thursday here defended the setting up of fundamental national goals for convergence in the framework of the regional integration process, within the Southern Africa region.

The Angolan President said so while speaking at the closing ceremony of the 31st Summit of Heads of State and Government of the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC).

The president pointed out as goals aspects such as industrialisation, diversification of production, banking of the economy, development of infrastructures - roads, bridges, railways, telecommunications, storage centrals, distribution and trading circuits- as well as education, technological investment and macroeconomic consolidation.

José Eduardo dos Santos reminded that the regional integration process demands that the national programmes of infrastructures construction should converge, as much possible, with the regional necessities.

"It is our understanding that the integration that we desire depends much more on the internal efforts of each of our countries in the domains of reconstruction, modernisation and stabilisation, than on the strengthening of commercial exchanges in an open market", President José Eduardo dos Santos said.

The Angolan statesman also said that the summit that ended on Thursday highlighted that the development of infrastructures is the unavoidable path to consolidate the basis for regional integration.

Government estimates GDP growth at seven percent

The minister of Economy, Abraão Gourgel, Friday, in Luanda, said that the Executive estimates for this year a global growth of the national economy at seven percent, being 2,5% for the oil sector and the remaining for other sectors of the economic activity. According to the government official, who was speaking at the opening of Angola/South Korea Economic Forum, it is intended that the growth rate be led by the non-oil sector in the coming years, as there has been created the conditions to guarantee the financial stabilisation.

“The GDP has returned to its balance, without having the need for additional debt for the State with the recovery of the public investment for the previous level to 2009", he noticed, adding that new measures will be adopted aimed at the reduction of internal costs that focus on the prices and feed the inflation.

In other part of his intervention, the minister said that the current Payment Balance is positive, a fact that enables to recover international net reserves, from its lowest level, of USD 12 billion at the end of 2009, to USD 17.6 billion in 2010.

“The monetary policy measures, for the recovery of the most suitable levels of the real liquidity, necessary for the good performance of the productive activity, allowed a sustained process that we need, for the reduction of interest rates, since last July, which forces the recovery for the demand of the bank loan and the resumption of businesses", he stressed.

Economic and Social Evolution

The economy is still deeply dependent on the oil sector. The problem is that no more than 1% of the nation's workforce is employed in the oil business. So it is imperative that the other sectors improve their importance in the productive structure, providing new jobs, increasing and diversifying the internal market and international exports. The implementation of proper policies is necessary for the development of industry, agriculture, building and services so that the actual GDP structure can be characterised by a major diversification and significant increase in domestic production.

But in terms of orientation and adequacy on economic policies, an important development has been registered. Take, for instance, the measures implemented in the monetary-exchange and tax fields and further developments supported by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank (WB), such as the Program of Humanitarian Help for the War Displaced and the initial implementation of the Public Investments Program. Meanwhile, the Government continues its policies of economic reform.

Fiscal Policy

The Government's fiscal policy for the year 2010 will continue to be restrictive, trying to control the level of public expenditure in a non-inflationary way, consistent with monetary policy and the need to maintain and consolidate the internal and external balance.

These measures of fiscal improvement and customs administration will include a tightening of tax laws and tax collection, seeking a new efficiency in the collection of the taxes owed to the State. Because of the need for a strong budgetary discipline, the observance of the norms and procedures established for the budgetary and financial administration of the National Budget – as established in the Integrated System of Financial Administration of the State (ISFAS), as well as in the Regulation concerning Purchases and Recruiting of the State – will become compulsory.

The preventive action and the inspection of the organs of internal control of the Government will, with effect, be more dynamic.

In line with financial rationalisation, the Government has eliminated across-the-board fuel subsidies and replaced them with specific fuel subsidies, through tax breaks, to those sectors such as agriculture, fishing and coastal traffic that have a real impact in the economy and in the life of the population, wherever justified. In the same way, tariffs on water and electricity have been adjusted, and will continue to be so more regularly, in order to guarantee the minimum covering of the operational costs of the public companies that provide those services. Finally, the Government shall initiate a study on the overall reform of the Angolan taxation system.
