Angola Economic Outlook
December 16, 2021
Available data suggests that momentum has remained fairly stable in the fourth quarter. On average, Cabinda oil production was virtually unchanged in October–November compared to the third quarter. Prices for the black gold inched down in November, but remained above the levels seen in Q3 and markedly above last year’s price. This should support government finances. Less positively, mounting inflation in the fourth quarter so far, coupled with an increase in the unemployment rate in the third quarter, will weigh on household spending. Furthermore, the government recently expanded international travel restrictions for various African countries due to the emergence of the Omicron variant. These restrictions will likely drag on Angola’s services and tourism sectors.Angola Economic Growth
The economy should return to growth next year as the oil sector is set to rebound from a multi-year recession. Within the non-oil sector, activity should receive a boost from progress on the vaccination front and easing price pressures, as well as the halving of the VAT. However, the outlook is clouded by social unrest and a large public debt burden. FocusEconomics panelists see GDP expanding 2.6% in 2022, which is down 0.2 percentage points from last month’s forecast. In 2023, the economy is seen growing 3.0%.Angola Economy Data
