Angola’s consumer price inflation continued to moderate in October 2026, with the year-over-year Consumer Price Index (CPI) easing to 8.16%, down from 8.43% previously. The latest data, updated on 6 November 2026, confirms a gradual deceleration in price growth in Africa’s second-largest oil producer.
Both the current and previous readings are based on year-over-year comparisons, measuring price changes in October 2026 and the preceding month against the same months a year earlier. The decline from 8.43% to 8.16% signals a softening inflation environment, which may offer some relief to households and could provide policymakers with slightly more room in balancing inflation control against growth-supportive measures.
For investors and businesses, the continued slowdown in annual CPI suggests that cost pressures are stabilizing, an important factor for planning pricing strategies, wage negotiations and investment decisions in the Angolan market.
