Abstract
The oil price shock that started in mid-2014 has substantially reduced fiscal revenue and exports, with growth coming to a halt and inflation accelerating sharply. This has brought to the forefront the need to address more forcefully vulnerabilities and dependence on oil, and to diversify the economy. The authorities have taken steps to mitigate the impact of the external shock: an 18 percent of GDP improvement in the non-oil primary fiscal balance over 2015-16, mainly through spending cuts including the removal of fuel subsidies, has been implemented; and the kwanza has been devalued against the U.S. dollar by over 40 percent since September 2014, with international reserves being used to smooth the depreciation. However, the exchange rate has been re-pegged since April 2016 leading to an appreciation of the kwanza in real terms, and further policy actions are needed to continue adjusting the economy to the ‘new normal' in the oil market and to return growth to a level consistent with poverty reduction.

Safeguards Assessments:1 The first-time safeguards assessment, which was finalized in May 2010, found that the National Bank of Angola (BNA) is subject to annual external audits by a reputable firm, but the audit opinions were qualified. The assessment confirmed weak governance and transparency practices at the BNA, including lack of timely publication of annual financial statements. The assessment made recommendations to strengthen the control framework in the reserves management and internal audit areas, and to enhance the legal framework and independence of the central bank. Some progress has been made in addressing recommendations. Outstanding key recommendations include: (i) amending the BNA Law to align it with best international practices; (ii) implementing International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS); and (iii) resolving remaining audit qualifications. The audited 2015 financial statements have yet to be published, as stipulated under the Safeguards Policy.
Exchange Arrangements: The de jure exchange rate arrangement is floating. The de facto exchange rate arrangement has been classified as ‘other managed’ since June 2015. However, the kwanza has been re-pegged to the U.S. dollar since mid-April 2016. The BNA closely monitors exchange rate fluctuations to maintain price stability in the economy and frequently intervenes in the foreign exchange market by holding foreign exchange auctions and direct sales. The BNA receives foreign currency from taxes paid by oil companies to the government, and also buys foreign exchange from oil companies who make payments to residents for services provided to them in kwanza. The BNA then sells the foreign currency to the market, with special focus on the oil and other priority sectors. The official exchange rate of the kwanza vis-à-vis the U.S. dollar has declined by more than 40 percent since September 2014. International reserves have been used to smooth the depreciation, declining by US$6⅔ billion since September 2014, to US$20⅓ billion in November 2016 on a net basis. The BNA publishes the auction results and respective reference rates.
Angola continues to maintain restrictions on the making of payments and transfers for current international transactions under the transitional arrangements of Article XIV, Section 2. The measures maintained pursuant to Article XIV are: (i) limits on the availability of foreign exchange for invisible transactions, such as travel, medical or educational allowances; and (ii) limits on unrequited transfers to foreign-based individuals and institutions. In addition, Angola maintains three exchange restrictions subject to Fund jurisdiction under Article VIII, Section 2(a) resulting from (i) the discriminatory application of the 0.015 percent stamp tax on foreign exchange operations; (ii) the operation of the priority list for access to U.S. dollars at the official exchange rate; and (iii) a special tax of 10% on transfers to non-residents under contracts for foreign technical assistance or management services.2 Angola also maintains three multiple currency practices that are subject to approval under Article VIII, Section 3 arising from the lack of a mechanism to prevent potential spreads in excess of 2 percent emerging (i) between successful bids within the BNA’s foreign exchange auction; and (ii) for transactions that take place at the reference rate in place and the rate at which transactions take place in the foreign exchange auction on that day, and (iii) the discriminatory application of the 0.015 stamp tax on foreign exchange operations.
Article IV Consultation: Angola is on the standard 12-month cycle. The next Article IV Consultation is scheduled to be completed by January 2018.

Statistical Issues

Angola—Statistical Issues Appendix
As of November 30, 2016
| I. Assessment of Data Adequacy for Surveillance | |
| General: Data provision has shortcomings, but is broadly adequate for surveillance. There are concerns about data quality and timeliness and efforts are underway to strengthen the statistical base, including through technical assistance from the Fund and World Bank. | |
| Angola now has several regular and informative statistical publications, reflecting significant progress in the provision of data and transparency in statistical reporting. Progress has been the strongest in the BNA and recently in the National Institute of Statistics (INE). Both now provide and publish much more extensive data on a timely basis. Data delivery and publication from the Ministry of Finance could be significantly improved. Data postings on the Ministry of Finance website include detailed revenues from the oil sector and diamond and reports on public finances with a certain lag. | |
| National Accounts: INE has released the national accounts for Angola for 2002-13. This is the first issuance of national accounts for Angola and includes annual data on output, expenditures, and income. The national accounts include annual GDP in current prices and volumes using chained-linking based on 2002 benchmarks. The Ministry of Planning is expected to continue issuing preliminary estimates and projections of annual GDP (output). A quarterly GDP series is in production and is expected to be finalized and published in 2017. Other important data bulletins are published by INE, including quarterly bulletins on business confidence, industrial production, and on merchandize trade. INE completed a national census count for 2014. This was the first census in the four decades since independence. The census questionnaire covered a substantial collection of information, mostly of a demographic and social nature. | |
| Price Statistics: INE publishes monthly reports on consumer and wholesale price indices. The CPI index was expanded to include consumer prices in all 18 provinces of the country. INE has started to develop import and export price indices. | |
| Government Finance Statistics: The timeliness and quality of government finance statistics needs to be substantially improved. Revenue and expenditures are correctly recorded on accrual basis but some issues persist when operations above- and below-the-line are reconciled. Of the utmost importance is that consolidated and detailed fiscal data are published regularly (at least quarterly) in electronic format at the Ministry of Finance web page. It would also be important to publish the data in excel—currently published in PDF, rendering it difficult for analysis—and in nominal values (rather than percentage changes) and updating the numbers as they are revised. Information on oil revenues is published monthly with great detail but it would be more useful for analysts and stakeholders if it is published as a spreadsheet instead of PDF images. A detailed report on the evolution of oil revenues is published on a quarterly basis but with some lag. It would be important to start publishing data on non-oil revenue on a monthly basis. Thus far, the Ministry of Finance reports on a “modified” GFSM 1986 by using an adjustor to reconcile numbers above the line (registered on an accrual basis) with those below the line (registered on cash basis). The Ministry of Finance compiles annual and monthly data according to GFSM 2001 standard. | |
| Monetary and Financial Statistics: Data for the depository corporation survey and the balance sheet of the BNA have been revised with the help of STA technical assistance. The data are now based on the new standardized report forms. The BNA delivers data to the IMF on a timely basis. It also publishes comprehensive data on its webpage on a monthly basis. The BNA also publishes other reports. These include a quarterly inflation report as well as its annual report (summarizing monetary and macroeconomic as well as inflation developments), and a six-monthly financial stability report (assessing the stability of the financial system) but those publications are published with a long lag. | |
| Financial Sector Surveillance: BNA data on financial soundness indicators are published on a monthly basis. The quality of financial soundness indicators should be improved along with the recommendations from STA technical assistance. The usefulness of the BNA’s Financial Stability Report could be enhanced by being more up to date, as the last report was published in early 2015. | |
| External Sector Statistics: The balance of payments and international investment position are compiled in line with the recommendations of the sixth edition of the IMF’s Balance of Payments Manual. These statistics are compiled and disseminated annually, with a lag of about nine months after the reference period. A technical assistance mission from STA on external sector statistics was conducted in November 2015. It reviewed the implementation of the recommendations of previous TA missions and found that progress has been made, especially regarding the automatization of the compilation process. The mission made recommendations on the compilation procedures and the coverage and quality of the series to improve the consistency between flows and stocks. The mission also confirmed the availability of quarterly information already collected by the BNA for the great majority of the elements of the balance of payments. Data coverage and timeliness remain major shortcomings. Also, coordination among statistical agencies and source data suppliers needs to be addressed. | |
| II. Data Standards and Quality | |
| The authorities are committed to using the General Data Dissemination System (GDDS) to improve the statistical system. Angola started participating in the GDDS in January 29, 2004 and metadata were posted on the IMF’s Dissemination Standards Bulletin Board. | |
