Angola's government debt to gdp was 62.37% in 2025, ranked 69th globally. This represents a 4.1% increase from 2024. Data from IMF WEO, covering 2000–2025.
Overview
Angola's government debt to gdp stood at 62.37% in 2025, a rise of +2.45% from 2024. The IMF projects 62.37% by 2025. Angola ranked 69th globally.
Angola's government debt to GDP ratio has experienced significant fluctuations over the past 26 years, with the all-time peak of 119.14% occurring in 2020, shortly after the COVID-19 pandemic. The country's debt burden has since decreased to 62.37% of GDP, ranking 69th globally, a position closely matched by peer countries such as San Marino with a ratio of 62.72%. In contrast, the all-time trough of 16.73% was recorded in 2006, highlighting the country's ability to manage its debt in the past. The current ratio is still a far cry from the trough, but a notable improvement from the peak. A continued decline in the debt-to-GDP ratio is likely contingent on sustained economic growth, particularly in the non-oil sector, as the country seeks to diversify its economy and reduce its dependence on oil exports.
