Angola Taxa BNA (BNA policy rate)
Angola Taxa BNA (BNA policy rate) is 15.75 percent, in force since 14 Jul 2026. It was 17 percent before that. Last checked against the official source on 7 Aug 2026.
Taxa Básica de Juro do Banco Nacional de Angola ('Taxa BNA') — the reference/policy rate set by the Comité de Política Monetária (CPM), the BNA organ established under the Lei do Banco Nacional de Angola (Lei n.º 24/21, de 18 de Outubro). The CPM holds six ordinary meetings a year (odd months: January, March, May, July, September, November), each a two-day sitting, and announces the Taxa BNA together with the two standing-facility rates (Facilidade Permanente de Cedência de Liquidez and Facilidade Permanente de Absorção de Liquidez).

What this value means
CUT of 125bps on 14 Jul 2026 — the common assumption warned not to assume direction; the direction is DOWN and has been down since Nov 2025 (19.00% → 18.50% → 17.50% → 17.00% → 15.75%, i.e. 325bps of easing in eight months). The same 130th CPM cut the Facilidade Permanente de Cedência de Liquidez from 18.00% to 16.75% and the Facilidade Permanente de Absorção de Liquidez from 16.00% to 14.75% — the corridor is symmetric at ±100bps around the Taxa BNA. Rationale given: 'a desaceleração consistente da inflação observada, bem como na perspectiva da manutenção dessa tendência no curto prazo'; the CPM revised its end-2026 inflation projection DOWN to 8.6% (±1pp) and 2026 GDP growth UP to 3.6%. EFFECTIVE DATE TRAP: BNA CPM communiqués do NOT state a separate entry-into-force date for the Taxa BNA — the decision is taken and published on the second day of the meeting and the rate is shown as current on the BNA homepage from that day, so effective_from is the communiqué date (14 Jul 2026), not a later settlement date. Do not confuse the Taxa BNA with LUIBOR (the interbank offered rate; on 24 Jul 2026 overnight 12.03%, 1M 15.34%, 3M 15.94%) or with the two standing-facility rates — those are quoted on the same BNA homepage panel and are frequently mis-served as 'the Angolan policy rate'. Next CPM: 131.ª reunião, Luanda, 14-15 September 2026. ACCESS NOTE: www.bna.ao is an Angular hash-routed SPA — plain HTTP fetches of https://www.bna.ao/ return only the site chrome and any /#/... deep link returns an empty shell; the content is served from POST https://www.bna.ao/service/rest/generic/sharepoint/v2/search and GET https://www.bna.ao/service/rest/generic/sharepoint/multi/search?whichParam=[{ID:<n>}]&whichUrl=Anúncios/Notícias. A source-watcher must render JavaScript or hit that JSON endpoint; the CPM communiqué IDs are sequential (1218 = 130th, 1180 = 129th, 1155 = 128th, 1123 = 127th, 1089 = 126th). CITATION UPGRADED (2026-08-07): the previous URL was the BNA's Angular SPA hash-route, which returns an empty shell to any non-browser fetch and so could not be audited mechanically. The SPA fronts a real JSON API (base URL in bna.ao/assets/environments/env.js); the cited endpoint returns the comunicado's full official text as JSON with a plain GET — no User-Agent, cookies or referer needed. No PDF exists for this comunicado (record carries Attachments:false). Human-readable page: https://www.bna.ao/#/pt/publicacoes-e-media/comunicacao/comunicados/detalhe/1218.
