Africa-Press – Angola. Angola’s economic and social stability depends, essentially, on the resurgence of the microeconomy or small business economy, as well as on encouraging national agricultural production, considered, this Saturday, Angolan economist Eduardo Silva.
Regarding the emergence of the “Relógio Económico” platform, the expert justified his statement with the fact that small businesses generate a sum of income that contributes significantly to the country’s economic growth.
To this end, the academic also defended the need for microeconomics to be supported by national banks, which must give different treatment, in relation to the demands imposed on medium and large companies.
For example, “you should not ask a fish seller or reseller for a feasibility study, but rather you should make the granting of micro credit more flexible in a responsible way”, he advocated.
According to Eduardo Silva, the creation of less bureaucratic micro credit is necessary to revive the microeconomy and, consequently, boost the country’s macroeconomy.
“The challenge of making the national economy prosperous is not an exclusive action of the Government, but rather a challenge for all Angolans, with each citizen called upon to do their part, to shorten the stages of the country’s economic growth and development and achieve our goals. earlier. But if Angolans leave this responsibility solely to the Executive, we will be able to postpone this goal”, he warned.
On the other hand, he pointed to the scarcity of domestic production as a factor that has accelerated the price levels of goods and services in the Angolan economy, with emphasis on food products.
Given this scenario, he defended the need for homogeneous production, in order to increase the availability of goods and services in the national market and reduce imports.
Along the same path, economist José Lumbo points to the construction, agriculture and fishing sectors as the decisive factors that must be supported, to boost other areas and ensure the growth of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), as well as reduce hunger and poverty in Angola.

He highlighted that, with the launch of the Economic Clock, whose debates will be held every fortnight, it is expected that there will be a society with greater literacy in economic matters, bringing added value that will allow citizens, in general, and students, in in particular, have solid knowledge about the national economy.

He also added that the materials to be presented by academics on the platform will also allow people to monitor the evolution of the impact of macroeconomic measures outlined by the Angolan Government.
