•
An economy or economic system consists of the production,
distribution or trade, and consumption of limited goods and
services by different agents in a given geographical location. The
economic agents can be individuals, businesses, organizations, or
governments. Transactions occur when two parties agree to the
value or price of the transacted good or service, commonly
expressed in a certain currency.
•
“When economies are healthy and strong, people worry less
about how they are going to live during the coming days,
weeks or months.”
•
All the societies are in need for a strong economic system,
otherwise in the era of Globalization, total destruction and
failure is guaranteed. Even though Norway is one of the lading
states, Angola still remains to be on the edge of poverty.
Angola’s Economy
• The Angolan economy rebounded strongly after several
years of low growth attributable to the lingering effects
of the global financial crisis.
• However, Angola’s economy rebounded strongly after
experiencing slow growth due to oil and financial crises.
