Overview

Angola's government revenue has fluctuated significantly over the last three decades, reflecting the country's tumultuous economic history. At 15.56% of GDP, its current government revenue ranks 166 globally, according to the IMF World Economic Outlook. This value is a far cry from the 43.41% peak in 2008, a year that saw a surge in oil prices, a key contributor to Angola's economy. Conversely, the country's revenue plummeted to an all-time trough of 15.29% in 2017, a year marked by a decline in oil prices. Notably, Benin's government revenue, a peer country, has exhibited a similar trend, reaching a peak of 16.45% in 2012 and a trough of 10.93% in 2009. Looking ahead, Angola's government revenue is likely to remain subject to fluctuations in global oil prices, which will continue to play a significant role in shaping the country's economic trajectory, with any sustained increase in prices potentially leading to a gradual improvement in government revenue.
