FSDEA strengthens strategic partnerships in Brazil

30 July 2025

As part of its economic diversification agenda and commitment to promoting impactful investments in Angola, the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Angola Sovereign Wealth Fund (FSDEA), Armando Manuel, held a working meeting on Tuesday, 29 July, in Brasília with the Brazilian Minister of Agriculture and Livestock, Carlos Fávaro, as well as with several Brazilian financial institutions.

The meetings focused on exploring cooperation opportunities in the fields of animal and vegetal protein production—strategic sectors for Angola’s food security and sustainable industrialisation. Brazil, known for its comparative advantages in these areas, stands out as a key partner in strengthening Angola’s productive and technological capacities. In particular, Angola can leapfrog by leveraging Brazil’s extensive expertise and technological breakthroughs led by institutions such as Embrapa in the agro-industrial domain.

These efforts are part of FSDEA’s strategy to mobilise global partnerships to support transformative projects in Angola, fostering job creation, import substitution, and increased exports in the agri-food sector.

FSDEA participates in the 17th IFSWF Annual Meeting in Abu Dhabi on sustainable investment

The Angola Sovereign Wealth Fund (FSDEA) took part in the 17th Annual Meeting of the International Forum of Sovereign Wealth Funds (IFSWF), held from 29 to 31 October 2025 in Abu Dhabi, one of the most influential global platforms for sovereign wealth dialogue. Under the theme 'Building Resilience in an Era of Transformation' , the event brought together managers who collectively oversee more than USD 10 trillion in assets, at a time when geoeconomics and global markets are undergoing profound shifts. The FSDEA was represented by Dr Igor Lima, Executive Director, and Eng. Alcídio José, Head of the Strategy and Business Department. The Angolan delegation participated in several working sessions dedicated to sustainability, geoeconomics and the growing need to build more resilient portfolios in an era marked by uncertainty. The delegation also held bilateral meetings with sovereign wealth funds and international financial institutions, exploring cooperation opportunities in areas such as infrastructure, green energy, emerging technologies and regional value chains. The meeting further highlighted the evolution of the role played by sovereign wealth funds in the twenty-first century. Once traditionally regarded as 'guardians' of capital, these institutions are increasingly assuming the role of 'architects' of more stable and sustainable economic systems. The discussions offered privileged access to trends and forecasts shaping the sector, as well as to international best practices that strengthen the institutional capacity of sovereign wealth funds. At the same time, the event created favourable conditions for advancing impact-investment initiatives capable of generating employment, stimulating technological innovation and driving more sustainable economic growth in Angola. The main conclusions of the meeting will be incorporated into the strategic processes of sovereign wealth funds, with the aim of enhancing governance mechanisms, reinforcing international cooperation and accelerating the development of structural projects aligned with national economic-diversification objectives.
