BODIVA: Highlights Aide Management Skills

BODIVA issued the following announcement on August 21.

The Executive Committee of the Angolan Stock Exchange (BODIVA) highlighted this Thursday in Luanda the management capacity that Cristina Lourenço demonstrated in the process of creating and implementing a structure unit of the Ministry of Finance.

In a note distributed to the media, BODIVA justifies the appointment of Cristina Lourenço to the Board of Directors of the institution, while emphasizing her "path and commitment" as a collaborator (market analyst) between 2014 and 2016.

Cristina Lourenço, daughter of the current President of the Republic, João Lourenço, was appointed last March as executive director.

Until then, she was Deputy Director of the Technical Unit for Monitoring External Financing Projects at the Ministry of Finance, after having already worked at BODIVA.

She graduated in Management from the London School of Economics and Political Sciences, London, in 2012, and completed her Masters in Investment Management at Pace University, Lublin School of Business, New York.

Her appointment has even generated criticism from some sectors of society, which claim there is a risk of this measure "weakening" the image of the President of the Republic, João Lourenço.

BODIVA explains in its press release that the appointment arose from the need to fill a vacancy in the Board of Directors, following the resignation of one of the directors.
