Overview
Angola's domestic credit stood at 9.82% in 2025, a decline of +4.81% from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 9.82% by 2025. Angola ranked 50th globally.
Angola's domestic credit has undergone significant fluctuations over the past decade. The all-time peak of 28.21 in 2020 indicates a substantial expansion of credit in the country, although it has since declined to 9.82 in 2025, marking the lowest level on record. This downward trend is starkly contrasted by the relatively stable domestic credit levels in neighboring countries such as Guyana, which has maintained a steady level of 16.10. The decline in domestic credit is likely attributed to the country's economic struggles, including the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, Angola's domestic credit has fallen significantly since 2015, when it stood at 23.87. The current low level of domestic credit suggests that the country may be facing challenges in supporting economic growth and development. A reversal in this trend could be achieved if Angola's economy experiences a significant revival, potentially driven by increased foreign investment or a recovery in the global commodities market.
