Minister of State: High price of a barrel of oil “no longer solves our problem”

The Minister of State for Economic Coordination, José de Lima Massano, stated, Wednesday, in Luanda, that the country is going through a moment in which it is not enough to just have “the highest price per barrel of oil or more oil production”, considering that “this is no longer what solves our problem”.

When speaking at the 11th edition of CaféCIPRA, which is currently taking place under the theme “Impact of private investment in the productive sector”, the Minister of State said that the rate of growth of populations and needs “is far above what the oil sector today is capable of offering the economy and citizens”.

“We need to move forward with programs to diversify the economy and increase the domestic production of goods”, he reinforced.
