Analysis# Angola National Debt (% of GDP)
Angola's national debt stood at 63.2% of GDP in 2026, representing a significant recovery from its catastrophic peak of 119.1% in 2020. The country's debt burden has declined substantially since 2000, when it measured 109.7% of GDP, marking a total improvement of 46.5 percentage points over the 26-year period. This metric remains well above Angola's all-time low of 16.7% in 2006, underscoring the persistent fiscal challenges facing the nation.
The sharp debt spike between 2017 and 2020 reflected severe economic pressures, driven by oil price volatility and currency depreciation. Angola achieved dramatic debt reduction from 2020 to 2022, falling from 119.1% to 56.1%, though the trajectory has stabilized and slightly risen since then. Current projections suggest debt will remain in the 62–63% range through 2026, indicating Angola has likely entered a consolidation phase after years of volatile swings.
