In February 2025, Angola’s annual inflation rate decreased for the seventh consecutive month, hitting 25.26%, the lowest level in a year. This decline from January’s 26.48% was significantly influenced by the relative stability of the kwanza, Angola’s currency.
On a monthly scale, consumer prices experienced a rise of 1.59% in February, although this figure is slightly lower than the 1.67% growth seen in January.
The slowdown in price increases was particularly noticeable in several categories: food and non-alcoholic beverages rose by 1.75%, down from 1.87% in January; alcoholic beverages saw a rise of 1.91%, reduced from 2.02%; and miscellaneous goods and services increased by 1.67%, lower than the previous month’s 1.84%.
The decrease in Angola’s inflation rate to 25.26% demonstrates ongoing economic stabilization, supported by the steady performance of the kwanza. Monthly consumer price increases also show a general trend of easing across major categories, indicating a deceleration in inflationary pressure. Overall, these trends suggest a positive economic trajectory for Angola.
