The National Diamond Company of Angola (Endiama) presented, on Wednesday January 17th in Luanda, at a press conference, the balance of actions for 2023 and the goals to be achieved in 2024.
The chairman of the Board of Directors, José Ganga Júnior, presented data and disseminated information on Endiama’s evolution over the past year, as part of the celebrations of the diamond company’s 43rd anniversary, created on January 15, 1981.
According to available data, Endiama raised, in the 2022 financial year, more than two billion dollars in operating revenue, something that Ganga Júnior considered positive, when publishing these results.
