Angola’s consumer price momentum moderated in May 2026, with the month‑over‑month Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising 0.53%, down from 0.58% in April 2026. The latest data, updated on 8 June 2026, indicate a modest easing in short-term inflationary pressures.

On a month-over-month basis, the “actual” reading for May reflects a slower pace of price increases compared with April, when prices had risen 0.58% from the previous month. By contrast, April’s “previous” figure captured the change relative to March, highlighting that May’s CPI data mark a slight deceleration in price growth as the second quarter progresses.

The marginal decline in the monthly CPI rate suggests a tentative stabilization in consumer prices, which will be closely watched by market participants and policymakers assessing inflation trends and potential implications for monetary and fiscal planning in Angola.
