As of 2021, the Angolan population is estimated at 32.87 million. Angola is multicultural and multiethnic. Angolan culture reflects centuries of Portuguese influence, namely the predominance of the Portuguese language and of the Catholic Church, intermingled with a variety of indigenous customs and traditions.
Angola has vast mineral and petroleum reserves, and its economy is among the fastest-growing in the world, especially since the end of the civil war; however, economic growth is highly uneven, with most of the nation’s wealth concentrated in a disproportionately small part of the population.
The standard of living remains low for most Angolans; life expectancy is among the lowest in the world, while infant mortality is among the highest.
The largest investment and trade partners are China, the European Union, and the United States.
Angola is a member of the United Nations, African Union, the Community of Portuguese Language Countries, and the Southern African Development Community.
