Location:Vol.30 No.98 (December 2003), pp685-686
 Not before time, the Angolan Government appears to have made a clear and unambiguous commitment to account for all its oil revenues, which constitute about 90% of the state's money.'In the past, we had off-budget transactions, so the budget lacked credibility,' Angolan Deputy Prime Minister Aguinaldo Jaime said in a speech at an oil industry conference in London. 'For the first time in Angola's history, the budget will encompass all revenue and that will send to the donor community the signal that the Angolan Government is committed to a fully transparent way of managing the budget.' Jaime clarified that these figures will include all the country's oil revenues.
