What it is. GDP per capita divides the value of everything produced in Angola in a year by the number of people living there, measured in current US dollars. Because it is converted at prevailing exchange rates, movements in the kwanza against the dollar change the figure even when output in kwanza is steady. It is an average, so it says nothing about how income is shared between Luanda and rural provinces, or between oil workers and subsistence farmers.
Higher is better. A higher figure means more output per person, which gives households and the state more to spend, save and invest, so higher is better. At $3,129 in 2025, Angola is up from $2,721 in 2024, a rise of 15%. Since 2016 the lowest point was $1,749 in 2020 and the highest was $3,599 in 2022. The latest figure sits between those two, well above the 2020 low and below the 2022 peak.
Why it matters. At $3,129 per person, average output is well above its 2020 level, which gives households and firms more room than they had then. It remains below the 2022 high of $3,599, so the recovery is not yet complete in dollar terms. Because oil dominates Angola's economy and the figure is in dollars, the state's revenue and the kwanza exchange rate both influence where it goes next.
