Current perimeter
Presidential Decree No. 36/26 updated Angola’s Privatization Program for 2023-2026 and identifies the current priority perimeter. Public legal updates and the reproduced decree text identify ten assets in the 2026 perimeter.

Assets excluded from the current phase
Public legal updates state that a broader set of companies and assets were excluded from the current PROPRIV 2026 phase, including Sonangol among other named assets.
This matters because exclusions change the center of gravity of the program. With Sonangol outside the current perimeter, investor attention shifts toward telecom, banking, aviation, mining, industrial, special-zone, and media assets.
