Angola’s consumer price inflation cooled in August 2026, with the year‑on‑year Consumer Price Index (CPI) slipping to 8.78%, down from 9.33% in July 2026. The latest figures, updated on 08 September 2026, signal a moderation in price pressures compared with the same period a year earlier.
The data are based on a year‑on‑year comparison, meaning the August reading reflects how prices have changed relative to August of the previous year, while July’s figure measured the change versus July a year earlier. The decline from July’s 9.33% to August’s 8.78% suggests a gradual easing of inflationary momentum in the Angolan economy.
For policymakers and investors, the softer CPI reading may indicate a stabilizing inflation backdrop, although the pace and durability of this disinflation trend will likely remain a key focus in the coming months as new data are released.
