This scenario has made it very clear that there is an imperative need for economic diversification, in order to facilitate the business environment and attract direct investment towards other activity sectors, outside the petroleum sector, which shall boost the Angolan economy in the medium term. The fall in the price of oil significantly reduced fiscal revenue and the obtaining of foreign currency. This evolution particularly constrained private consumption and public investment, and contributed to the GDP growth rate having shifted from 4.8% in 2014, to 3.5% in 2015, according to IMF forecasts. In this environment, the kwanza devalued sharply and the inflation rate exceeded 14%, imposing the need for a more restrictive monetary policy.

  • Angola Banking Survey November 2015
    1 KPMG Angola Banking Survey November 2015 2 02 | ENQUADRAMENTO MACROECONÓMICO KPMG Angola When KPMG established a new Angolan member firm, it assumed a commitment towards the development of the country, the empowerment of the most important sectors of the economy and the development of the resources and talent that exists in Angola. It is undeniable that the Banking Sector plays a key role in the present and in the future of our society, and therefore this is an area that deserves a particularly close eye. We believe that a solid and competitive Banking sector, that is in line with the best international practices, will be determinant for the consolidation of the country as a reference in the future of Africa. The sixth edition of the Angola Banking Survey, illustrates our commitment and is the outcome of the research work and analysis conducted by KPMG professionals in Angola, as well as exchange of ideas with Financial Services specialists from KPMG’s global network. In response to several market demands, we have again included in this year’s Analysis one of the most distinctive components of our past work: a list of the main challenges of the Sector in the near future. There are 12 challenges that, in our view, should be the main points in the agenda of the Sector’s leaders and decision makers, and we would therefore like to share our understanding of each of these issues with our readers. And because innovation is also one of our firm’s principles, we strengthened the investment in the digital component, presenting a new version of the interactive dashboard that we introduced last year.
