Africa-Press – Angola. Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in Angola’s non-oil sector totaled 959.4 million US dollars in 2025, registering a growth of 171.4 percent year-on-year, according to preliminary data from the National Bank of Angola (BNA).
According to the central bank, the value reached last year exceeds the 353.5 million US dollars registered in 2024, translating into the largest jump in this indicator in the last 13 years.
The evolution of the indicator is considered relevant as it signals an investment movement in areas associated with the diversification of the national productive base, contrasting with the fluctuations registered in previous years.
At the institutional level, the business environment has been boosted by the Private Investment and Export Promotion Agency (AIPEX), the central structure responsible for receiving, facilitating and monitoring projects.
The agency, the central bank said, has focused its efforts on reducing bureaucracy, registering proposals, providing institutional support to investors, and directing foreign capital towards strategic sectors of the economy.
This dynamism is linked to the application of tax incentive regimes and administrative facilities foreseen in the Private Investment Law, key elements in structuring the inflow of foreign currency and the execution of projects.
For economists, the performance of non-oil FDI reinforces the view that the country is showing a greater capacity to attract foreign capital to activities outside the oil extraction industry, which still holds a dominant weight in the national economy.
According to analysts, more than a statistical increase, the 2025 result puts non-oil FDI back at the center of the Executive’s economic agenda, reflecting improvements in the business environment and the attractiveness of the Angolan market.
