In an encouraging move towards economic stabilization, Angola's consumer price index (CPI) recorded a decline in June 2025, easing to 19.73%, as reported on July 11, 2025. This marks a notable decrease from the previous month's 20.74%, indicating a promising shift in the country's annual inflation rates.
The CPI's 19.73% figure represents a year-over-year comparison for June, providing insight into how prices have changed over the year. This shift is especially significant considering the previous year-over-year comparison for May was higher, at 20.74%. The decline suggests that inflationary pressures, while still present, are beginning to abate.
This movement in the CPI comes as a relief for both consumers and policymakers, highlighting the effects of potential economic measures aimed at curbing inflation. However, with such volatility in the broader economic landscape, Angola remains vigilant in assessing future inflation trends and challenges. The decrease in June’s CPI could signal a move towards more sustainable economic growth if the trend continues in the coming months.
