Angola Holds Key Interest Rate at 15.5%
The National Bank of Angola held its benchmark interest rate at 15.5 percent during its January 2021 meeting. Policymakers voiced concerns about the negative effects of COVID-19 on the domestic economy and the interruption of the disinflation process started in 2018. The Committee concluded that, as the monetary expansion observed in 2020 did not result from the dynamics of economic activity, might be necessary to implement a prudent monetary policy in 2021, mainly of a restrictive nature, to achieve the inflation target around one digit in 2022. Angola's annual inflation rate surged for the 14th month to 25.1% in December of 2020, the highest since October of 2017, as the kwanza continued to depreciate due to the twin impact of Covid-19 and still subdued oil prices.

Angola Interest Rate
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).
