What the numbers say
In 2024, Angola's high-technology exports (% of manufactured exports) fell 7.16 percentage points on 2023 (from 23.85% to 16.69%).
Across the 8 yearly changes before that (2016 to 2023), the average change was +1.41 percentage points and a typical year strayed about 5.4 percentage points from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 1.6 standard deviations below that average, so it was larger than a typical year, though not out of the range seen before.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 6.71 percentage points in 2022 and the biggest yearly fall was 7.16 percentage points in 2024. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2015 to 2024 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 19% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.

What this measures
High-technology exports are products with high R&D intensity, such as in aerospace, computers, pharmaceuticals, scientific instruments, and electrical machinery.
Limitations: The indicator is based on data reported by countries to COMTRADE. The export values presented in the World Development Indicators represent Gross Exports less Re-Exports. The values may be impacted in cases of reporting errors or missing data, for example if countries do not report Re-Exports for one or more periods.
Regional and income-group figures are computed by the World Bank as a weighted average.
