Angola’s inflation rate fell to 25.26% in February 2025, the lowest in a year, down from 26.48% the prior month. Monthly consumer prices rose by 1.59%, with food, alcoholic beverages, and miscellaneous goods witnessing slower price increases.
In February 2025, Angola’s annual inflation rate decreased for the seventh consecutive month, reaching 25.26%, marking the lowest level in one year. This decline from 26.48% the previous month occurred due to the relative stability of the national currency, the kwanza.
Monthly consumer prices experienced an increase of 1.59% in February, slightly lower than the 1.67% rise noticed in January. The deceleration in price increases was particularly notable in several categories: food and non-alcoholic beverages rose by 1.75%, compared to 1.87% the previous month; alcoholic beverages increased by 1.91%, down from 2.02%; and miscellaneous goods and services saw a rise of 1.67%, down from 1.84%.
The continuous reduction in Angola’s inflation rate over the past seven months indicates a potential stabilization of the economy, aided by the stabilization of the kwanza. The recent data also reflects a slowing increase in consumer prices across key categories, suggesting an overall easing of inflationary pressures.
