Angola fiscal and oil revenue developments

Overview

In the second quarter of 2026, Angola experienced significant shifts in its fiscal landscape. Oil revenues rose by 54.71% year-on-year to $8.91 billion, bolstered by an increase in average Brent prices to $103.85 per barrel. To further drive investment, President João Lourenço authorized new fiscal measures, including tax incentives for offshore blocks 34 and 35 and revised production-sharing agreements.

Despite the increase in oil revenue, the country faced heavy debt obligations. Debt service expenditures reached 5.70 trillion kwanzas, which was three times higher than the 1.67 trillion kwanzas spent on the social sector. Debt-related charges accounted for 56% of all executed functional expenditure, while total public debt rose to 70.24 trillion kwanzas by the end of June.
