Angola was a Portuguese colony for several centuries until independence was granted on 11 November 1975. This sparked a civil war between the Popular Liberation Movement of Angola (MPLA), subsequently backed by Cuba and USSR, and the National Union for the Total Independence of Angola (UNITA), which had the support of the west generally and South Africa in particular. In 2002 a formal ceasefire was signed between UNITA and the MPLA.

The Angolan insurance market continues to operate under challenging conditions. The oil price collapse in 2014 had a negative impact on the market which has been exacerbated by Angola's ongoing economic difficulties and in particular the current recession and devaluation of the currency.The Angolan economy and the insurance market is still heavily reliant on the energy sector although the government is taking steps to diversify the economy.
