In Angola, interest rate decisions are taken by The National Bank of Angola (Banco Nacional de Angola). On May 24th 2018, the central bank unified the marginal lending facility rate and the basic interest rate, creating the BNA Rate (Taxa BNA) which became the new benchmark interest rate. Until then, the key rate was the Taxa Básica de Juro (Taxa BNA) and until October 2011 the official interest rate was the Discount Rate (Taxa de Redesconto).

Still, the central bank maintained the interest rate of the Permanent Liquidity Provision Facility at 20.5% and the Permanent Liquidity Absorption Facility at 17.5%, while reducing the reserve requirement ratio in national currency by 100 bps to 18%. The measures aimed to increase liquidity in the Angolan financial system for growth to remain above the target of 3%, with 2024 GDP expected to have grown at 4.4%, outpacing the oil sector’s 3.61% expansion. Annual inflation slowed to 19.73% in June 2025 from 20.74% in May.
