The Angola Debt and Stock Exchange (known as Bodiva and in Portuguese as Bolsa de Dívida e Valores de Angola) operates as a stock exchange headquartered in Luanda, Angola. Although the exchange was initially announced in 2006 with plans to launch by early 2008, economic challenges and strategic revisions caused several postponements. The expected opening date was delayed multiple times, moving from 2009 to as late as 2016.
Bodiva officially began its activities on December 19, 2014, focusing initially on the secondary market for public debt. The introduction of a corporate debt market was scheduled for 2015, while the commencement of stock trading was anticipated in 2016, with an estimated initial listing of approximately ten companies.
In February 2025, Walter Pacheco stepped down from his role as Chairman of Bodiva’s executive committee after serving nearly four years. Cristina Lourenço, the longest-tenured member of the executive team and daughter of Angolan President João Lourenço, was appointed interim chairwoman—a decision that generated debate. She was later officially confirmed as CEO for a term lasting four years, set to conclude in 2028.
