Angola: Post-Financing Assessment Discussions-Press Release; Staff Report; and Statement by the Executive Director for Angola
September 18, 2025
Summary
Angola’s economic performance was strong in 2024: higher than anticipated
growth, fiscal revenue, current account surplus, and lower than anticipated inflation and
public debt. However, Angola has been hit by volatility in oil prices and sovereign
spreads, and weaknesses in oil production in the first half of 2025, amplifying the impact
of those shocks. The authorities are prepared to adjust as needed while pursuing
medium-term economic growth agenda envisaged in the National Development Plan
(NDP) and the African Union (AU)’s Agenda 2063.
