What it is. Real GDP growth measures how much the value of everything produced in Angola's economy changed over a year, after stripping out price rises. The figure comes from World Bank national accounts and values output at constant prices, so it follows the volume of production. It gives one headline number for the whole economy and leaves out how income is shared and what the output is made of.
Higher is better. Higher growth means the economy is producing more goods and services, which supports jobs, earnings and tax receipts. The latest figure, for 2025, is 3.1% y/y, down from 5% y/y a year earlier. Since 2016 the series has ranged from a low of −5.3% y/y in 2020 to a high of 5% y/y in 2024. The 2025 reading sits in the upper part of that range and below the 2024 peak.
Why it matters. Growth of 3.1% y/y means Angola's economy is still expanding, so firms and the state have more output and income to draw on than a year earlier. The slowdown from 5% y/y means that extra income is growing more slowly, which leaves less room for rising household earnings and public spending. The next annual figure will show whether growth holds near 3.1% y/y or slips further.
