In a move that signals stability amidst global economic uncertainty, the Angolan Central Bank announced today that the country’s benchmark interest rate will remain unchanged at 19.50%. This decision marks the continuation of the rate since the last adjustment and reflects the bank's cautious approach to monetary policy amidst prevailing economic conditions.
The central bank's decision, updated on July 18, 2025, comes as no surprise given the month-over-month comparisons. Analysts had anticipated that the bank might maintain the current rate, focusing on sustaining the balance between controlling inflation and fostering economic growth. This decision could potentially encourage both local and foreign investors, signaling a stable economic environment for business operations and investments.
As Angola navigates through its economic challenges, the unchanged interest rate at 19.50% underscores the central bank's commitment to economic steadiness while keeping an eye on evolving regional and global economic trends that could influence future monetary policy decisions.
