In February 2025, Angola’s annual inflation rate dropped for the seventh month in a row, reaching 25.26%, marking the lowest level seen in a year. This decline from January’s rate of 26.48% resulted from the relative stability of the Angolan kwanza.

Notable slowdowns in price increases were observed in several categories: food and non-alcoholic beverages rose by 1.75%, down from 1.87% in January; alcoholic beverages registered a 1.91% increase compared to 2.02% in the previous month; and miscellaneous goods and services saw a rise of 1.67%, lower than January’s 1.84%.
The data indicates a positive trend in Angola’s inflation rates, with consistent decreases observed over the past seven months. The stability of the kwanza appears to be a contributing factor to this trend. Continued monitoring of key categories such as food and beverages may provide insights into future inflationary pressures.
