Angola’s economy continued to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic in 2022, supported by higher oil prices, improved oil production, and resilient non-oil activity. Non-oil growth was broad-based despite a challenging external environment. Growth is estimated at 3.5 percent for 2023. Headline inflation declined significantly to 13.8 percent y/y at end-December 2022, driven by lower global food prices, a stronger kwanza, and previous efforts by the central bank to tighten monetary policy.
