Moody's did the same in September.Speaking from Luanda on Monday (January 24), Daves de Sousa also said a slow-moving plan to partially privatize state oil firm Sonangol would be further delayed by two years.Sonangol is aiming to sell off non-core businesses and, as the crown jewel of a broad privatization push, list a 30% stake.While authorities initially aimed to launch the IPO before 2022, Daves de Sousa said restructuring along with asset recovery and registration work were not complete."The balance sheet of Sonangol should reflect in a very transparent way, the assets that they have and today it doesn't."The minister said pre-IPO due diligence on Sonangol, as well as state diamond miner Endiama and airline TAAG, could begin this year.
