Sao Tome and Principe

www.vnaadvogados.com

At VdA, we rely on lawyers with vast experience in Sao Tome and Principe who have consistently supported major international investors in recent years, notably in the Oil&Gas, banking and finance and tourism sectors.

Our local partner, VNA Advogados, is a highly reputed law firm with a dynamic team with extensive in-depth knowledge of the local situation, offering specialized, close and practical assistance to our clients.

"Growth will accelerate following a minor recovery in tourism and related sectors such as telecommunications. However, the state will remain extremely reliant on international aid and loans to avoid a balance-of-payments crisis, with the current account remaining heavily in deficit (and public debt staying high) in 2022-23."

The Economist Intelligence Unit (eiu.com), 2022
