Overview of the index of perception of corruption, 2007

Corruption in Angola is a pervasive phenomenon, hindering economic growth and government-sponsored liberalization programs.

In 2004, Human Rights Watch found the Angolan government could not account for US$4 billion spent between 1997 and 2002. Transparency International ranked Angola 142 out of 163 countries in the Corruption Perception Index just after Venezuela and before the Republic of the Congo with a 2.2 rating. The The Heritage Foundation gave a 47.1% "free" rating in its Index of Economic Freedom in 2008.

Negocios are corrupt business deals in Angola.
