Angola’s consumer price inflation continued to slow in May 2026, with the year-over-year CPI rate easing to 10.88%, down from 11.58% in April 2026. The data, updated on 8 June 2026, indicate a further moderation in price pressures across the economy.
Both the current and previous readings are measured on a year-over-year basis, comparing each month’s price levels with the same month a year earlier. The decline from April to May suggests that inflationary momentum is gradually cooling, which may offer some relief to households and provide policymakers with additional room to maneuver on economic and monetary measures.
The sustained disinflation trend, if it continues, could help stabilize expectations and support a more predictable environment for businesses and investors. However, the inflation rate remains in double digits, underscoring that price growth is still relatively elevated despite the recent improvement.
