Abstract
Este trabalho tem como essência compreender a importância das infra-estruturas no
desenvolvimento económico de Angola, o atual momento das importações e exportação
ao nível do Porto do Lobito e o seu corredor ferroviário como também a situação
económica do país em geral. Desta feita, recolhemos entrevistas, dados estatísticos,
arquivos e documentos atuais sobre a evolução económica do país e da cidade do
Lobito. Assim sendo, caracterizamos o atual momento das infra-estruturas em África,
com ênfase na importância das mesmas para a Angola e o passado histórico que o Porto
do Lobito teve, isto é, na era colonial no que tange ao impacto económico relativamente
às importações e exportações registadas naquela altura. Por sua vez, destacamos a
dependência das exportações do Petróleo da nação angolana, que consequentemente
afeta o atual momento, fruto da baixa do preço do barril do crude que está a criar um
grande desequilíbrio na economia. Nesse âmbito, o Porto do Lobito ressente-se com a
baixa das importações e exportações em toneladas de cargas, estas últimas diminutas
por falta da diversificação da economia. Também referimos as condições infra
estruturais do Porto do Lobito e sugerimos para o melhor funcionamento deste maior
Porto de Angola, que é essencialmente importante na África Austral como também na
diversificação da economia angolana para o bem-estar do seu povo.
This work is essentially understand the importance of infrastructure in economic development of Angola, the current situation of imports and exports at the level of the Port of Lobito and its rail corridor as well as the economic situation of the country in general. With that objetive, we resort to interviews, statistical data collections, archives and current documents on economic developments in the country and the city of Lobito. Thus we characterize the current situation of infrastructure in Africa as well as its importance for Angola and the history that the Port of Lobito had in his past, that is, in the colonial era in terms of the economic impact in respect of import and export consisting at that time. In turn, we highlight the dependence on exports of oil of the Angolan nation, which consequently affect the current situation of low fruit of crude oil prices that is creating an imbalance in the economy, in which the Port of Lobito resents low imports and exports in tons of cargo that is almost non-existent for lack of diversification of the economy. We also refer the infra structural conditions of the Port of Lobito and make some suggestions to the better functioning of the largest port in Angola, which is especially important in Southern Africa as well as for the diversification of the Angolan economy and to the wellbeing of its people .
