Angola: Post-Financing Assessment Discussions-Press Release; Staff Report; and Statement by the Executive Director for Angola

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.
