THE ANGOLAN ECONOMY GREW by an estimated 19.8 per cent in 2007, up from 18.6 per cent in 2006, boosted by increasing oil production and prices. The non-oil sector also performed well, notably construction, agriculture, manufacturing and financial services, although slightly less well than the previous year. Inflation has remained steady in the past two years, with the consumer price index increasing 12 per cent in 2006 and 11.8 per cent in 2007.
