The Angola Capital Markets Commission (CMC) participated in Angola’s seventh Annual Conference on Competition and Economic Regulation, where discussions focused on how competition and regulation can support economic diversification. Executive Director Edna Mascarenhas represented the CMC at the event, organized by the Competition Regulatory Authority (ARC). Discussions emphasized fair market conditions based on transparency, integrity and equal opportunities for economic participants.
The CMC highlighted capital markets’ role in mobilizing savings, financing the economy and broadening companies’ funding sources. It also linked its participation to privatization and economic liberalization initiatives. The emphasis on regulatory coordination echoes its participation in the 2025 conference, when it highlighted cooperation with the ARC under their 2022 bilateral protocol, covering technical exchanges, regulatory capacity and coordination on economic regulation and market transparency.
