Angola is a beautiful, rich yet calamitous country. Prior to its independence in 1975, Angola once suffered from the colonial domination for more than 500 years. However, Angola slumped into the prolonged civil war immediately following its independence. On April 4, 2002, the Angolan Government and UNITA signed the ceasefire agreement to terminate the civil war that had lasted for 27 years. The proloned civil war has seriously affected the economic development in Angola, which makes it become one of the least developed countries in the world. However, under the leadership of President Jose Eduardo Dos Santos, Angola witnessed a fast economic growth after the civil war, and has become one of the countries with the fastest economic growth in the world. In 2006, the economic growth rate in Angola was 18.6%.
To adapt to the new situation, Angola Government has always been dedicating to the optmization of its laws for the purpose of attracting both local and foreign private investors. On April 1, 2003, Angola Government passed a series of laws represented by the private investment law as well as the favorable policy on revenue and tariff on private investment.
As declared by Department of Industry of Angola, Angola will extensively implement the new strategy on the revitalization of its industry in numerous domains. This strategy will focus on 4 aspects by giving priority to the restoration of steel and iron smelting.
Angola Government promises to safguard the lawful rights of each investor, including the industrial property rights and intellectual creation rights within the coverage of laws in force as well as right to ownership of land and other resources.
安哥拉是个美丽富饶又多灾多难的国家。葡萄牙曾对安哥拉进行了长达500多年的殖民统治，1975年安哥拉才获得独立。但独立后的安哥拉又长期处于内战状 态，直到2002年4月，安哥拉政府与反对政府武装安盟最终签署停火协议，宣布结束长达27年的内战。连年战乱严重影响了安哥拉经济的发展，使安成为世界 最不发达国家之一。结束内战之后，安哥拉在总统若泽•爱德华多•多斯桑托斯（Jose Eduardo Dos Santos）的领导下，经济增长很快，成为全世界经济发展速度最快的国家之一，2006年，安哥拉国民经济增长速度为18.6%。
为了使国家适应新的现实，安哥拉政府已经并正在采取各种措施，使法律更加吸引内外的私人投资者，政府于2003年4月1日，通过了一系列法律，尤其是私人投资法和对私人投资的税收及关税奖励法。
