Luanda - Angola’s minister of Economy and Planning Mário Caetano said Tuesday that the Luanda International Fair (FILDA) could operate as a business hub in Africa and boost exports of products “made in Angola”.
In view of the opportunities offered by the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) and the economic blocs, the minister predicted greater attraction of foreign investment and greater exposure of national products.
Such exposure can also impact on the export capacity both in Africa and in other countries such as the European Union, Mário Caetano told the opening ceremony of the 38th edition of FILDA unveiled by the President João Lourenço.
This edition takes place in the Special Economic Zone (EEZ), with the first participation of the United States of America and the return of Brazil.
Portugal, Italy, Indonesia, Turkey, Germany, as well as Japan are also taking part in the event.
The Luanda International Fair aims to promote national production, which enhance the diversification of the economy, business and the promotion of employment. NE/NIC
