However, in 2015-2016, it declined to US $ 2767 million wing to decline in oil prices. In 2017-18 it has increased to US$ 4324 million. On the other hand, India`s exports to Angola decreased from US$ 675 million (2010-2011) to US$ 155 million 2016-17) mainly due to general import curbs arising from the forex problem. In 2017-18 it increased to US$ 235 million. India is the 3rd largest trading partner sharing about 10% of Angola´s external trade mainly on account of bulk crude oil purchase. India’s corporate sector looks at Angola as a land of opportunity. There have been visit by a number of private business delegations, including those organized by CII in November 2013 and FICCI in May 2014, to Angola.
