Annual inflation in Angola slowed to 8.43% in September, after falling by 0.36 percentage points from August.

Annual inflation in Angola fell by 0.36 percentage points to 8.43% in September, according to calculations by Expansão based on the National Consumer Price Index published by the National Institute of Statistics (INE). The rate thus remains below 10%.

This development does not mean that prices are falling overall: they continue to rise, but at a slower pace. Expansão indicates that one would have to go back to April 2015 to find a level of annual inflation lower than that recorded recently.
