Angola’s economy is likely to emerge from recession this year, growing at 0.3% after three years of contraction, and the debt-to-GDP ratio will fall to around 70%, Moody’s Investors Service said.
The debt burden remains vulnerable to further exchange rate depreciation given the stock of foreign-currency and foreign-currency linked debt as well as the risk of fiscal consolidation fatigue, Moody’s said in an emailed statement.
Reforms planned for this year, including the introduction of a value added tax to broaden the non-oil tax base, will further increase the likelihood of fiscal surpluses while oil prices remain around their current levels, Moody’s said.
