Portugal and the Portuguese speaking countries are a clear strategic market:

• Portugal is Spain’s third largest foreign trade customer (17,400 million euros in 2013).

• Spain exports more to Portugal than to all of Latin America, it’s such a narrow market that it’s sometimes camouflaged and we don’t determine its real weight.

• Portugal is the gateway to a future market with 45 million inhabitants: the Portuguese-speaking African countries.

• Angola is the economy that has grown the most in the first decade of the 21st century. Its GDP per capita of almost $6,000 is already considered a middle-income country and is the third largest economy in sub-Saharan Africa.

• Luanda is one of the largest financial and economic centers in Africa.

• Mozambique has grown by an average of 7% over the past ten years and is among the 10 countries with the largest mineral reserves. It is also a reference point for attracting foreign investment.

• Cape Verde, although smaller than the previous ones, is a stable market with an average income twice the African average and with a high level of human development according to the Human Development Index.
