economy

Construction is currently underway to the north of the community at Luanda's new international airport, the Angola International Airport . The control tower and the administration building are located in the municipality.
Economic expansion creates problems
The enormous construction boom in Angola's capital Luanda has been causing ever more massive pressure and the associated greater expansion of economic and industrial areas eastwards into the province of Bengo. Most affected are the people of Bom Jesus. The large Angola International Airport is to be built here on an area of 30 square kilometers . The administrator of the community, Serafim Catarina, therefore calls for more intensive cooperation for economic development in the region. The conditions for the people of Bom Jesus are not good, so cooperation with the newly installing companies is required to solve the problems of the district.
Large projects in Luanda and widespread poverty
The primary aim is to improve basic services for the population, especially in the areas of health, education, drinking water distribution, power supply and medical supply with medicines. The population of the place fears annexation by the province of Luanda and thus further economic pressure. They expressed their displeasure about various deficiencies in the village in May 2010 at a demonstration.
