Angola's Central Bank Cuts Policy Rate by 50bps to 19.0% as Inflation Slows Down

12:19 PM EDT, 09/16/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Angola's central bank (BNA) on Tuesday said its Monetary Policy Committee decided to reduce its policy rate by 50bps to 19.0%.

The policy decision reflects Angola's downward inflation trajectory, in line with the inflation target for the current year, despite the ongoing international uncertainty and its implications for the country's external accounts, said BNA in Tuesday's statement.

Annual inflation continued to slow in August, reaching 18.88% compared with 19.48% in the previous month.

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.
