Angola's Minister of State for Economic Coordination Jose de Lima Massano said the Angolan government was foreseeing a windfall of around 3.2 trillion kwanza ($3.5 billion, or around 2.4% of GDP) in 2026 assuming an average price of $80 per barrel of oil by the end of 2026, Ver Angola reported on April 22. Massano said the conflict may last longer than initially anticipated but that the government was not intent on pressing ahead with additional spending, although he noted that it may now have a "lower need" to issue new debt.
