Due in part to the effects of the credit crunch, the earlier intention for the Angola Stock Exchange to open in early 2009 has been further delayed, with current indications that it was scheduled to open in 2010, with the intention to list 10 companies.
However in July 2013, Archer Mangueira, chairman of the Capital Markets Commission of Angola, said that Angola plans to start the Angola Stock Exchange trading on 2016.Archer Mangueira on Angola Stock Exchange, Bloomberg, 1 July 2013

Walter Pacheco resigned as Chairman of the executive committee of BODIVA in February 2025 after almost four years in office. He was replaced on a temporary basis by Cristina Lourenço who was the longest serving member of the executive committee. Unfortunately this was controversial as Cristina was the daughter of the Angolan President, João Lourenço.
Lourenço was then appointed CEO of BODIVA for a four-year term that ends in 2028.
