Rani Jarkas: Angola is an undiscovered Gem

Angola is a country of 482,625 square miles in western Africa, bordering Namibia to the south, the Atlantic Ocean to the west, Zambia to the east, and the Republic of Congo to the north. The oil-rich enclave of Cabinda lies north of the Zaire river.
Angola is a potentially one of the richest countries in Africa. Petroleum in the Cabinda enclave; diamonds in Lunda; and iron, phosphates, copper, gold, bauxite, and uranium in the other provinces are some of the natural resources. This year Angola’s economy is expected grow by eight percent as it becomes the second biggest producer of oil in Africa. In the capital city of Luanda, the skyline is now filled with newly-built skyscrapers and each month more businesses are beginning to populate the area. Economic growth is beginning to transform Angola into a country filled with business opportunities.
Rani Jarkas, a global well-known entrepreneur and a financial services executive with years of experience in conducting business in Africa, is especially fond of Angola. During a telephone interview, he said, “I chose Angola to do business many years ago and I am now making more commitments to the country, not only because the country provides great business opportunities, but also I like the country’s natural beauty and its people. I often find people on the streets dancing to salsa, lambada or meringue music. Their love for life, their music, dance and art, their laughter and their joy, their determined desire and their creativeness really touch me.”
“My long-term commitment to Angola is focused on helping local communities to realize the value of growth in the region and building wealth for locals. My approach strategy is to create win-win situation for local governments, companies and investors. As Angola is opening its market to foreign investors and is actively seeking partners to contribute towards its industrialisation, forward-looking investors should invest in Angola for its substantial long-term potential,” Rani added.

拉尼.亚卡斯（RANI JARKAS）: 安哥拉是一颗未被发现的宝石

安哥拉位于非洲西部，面积为482,625平方英里。北邻刚果共和国，东接赞比亚，南连纳米比亚，西濒大西洋。石油资源丰富的卡宾达地区位于扎伊尔河以北。

安哥拉是非洲潜在最富有的国家之一。卡宾达有石油；隆达有钻石；其他省份有铁、磷酸盐、铜、金、铝土矿、铀和其它自然资源。今年安哥拉的经济增长预计达到百分之八，该国已成为非洲地区第二大石油生产国。在首都罗安达，到处可见新建成的摩天大楼，每个月都有新公司进驻该地。经济增长开始令安哥拉成为一个处处充满商机的国家。

全球知名的企业家和金融高管拉尼.亚卡斯（Rani Jarkas）具有多年在非洲开展业务的经验，他特别喜欢安哥拉。在接受电话采访时，他说，“很多年前我就选择在安哥拉做生意，我现在对这个国家的投入越来越多，不仅是因为该国有巨大的商机，而且我特别喜欢这个国家的自然风光和居民。我经常看见人们在街头跳莎莎和伦巴。他们对生活的热爱，他们对音乐、舞蹈和艺术的追求，他们的笑声，他们的喜悦，他们的坚定意志和他们的创造力让我深受启发。”

“我希望我的努力能帮助当地社区实现经济增长并协助本地人创造财富。我希望能为地方政府、企业和投资者创造双赢的局面。由于安哥拉正对外国投资者开放其市场，并非常积极地寻求合作伙伴以实现国家工业化，我认为具前瞻性的投资者应该着眼于安哥拉可观的长远潜力并作出投资，”拉尼.亚卡斯（Rani Jarkas）补充说。
