What the numbers say
In 2025, Angola's net domestic credit (current LCU) rose 3.99 trillion on 2024 (from 13.91 trillion to 17.9 trillion).
Across the 29 yearly changes before that (1996 to 2024), the average change was +479.75 billion and a typical year strayed about 928.27 billion from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 3.8 standard deviations above that average, so it was unusually large compared with the rest of the record.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 3.99 trillion in 2025 and the biggest yearly fall was 1.2 trillion in 2021. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2016 to 2025 the straight-line trend is upward, about 1.26 trillion a year. A straight line explains 88% of the movement over 10 observed years.
Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.
A straight-line projection, tested first
Extending that straight line gives about 18.51 trillion for 2028. We show this only because the same method, fitted on earlier years, predicted 2023 to 2025 better than "no change" would have: its average miss was 2.56 trillion, against 5.37 trillion for assuming no change. Treat it as a continuation of the recent pattern, not a forecast of events: it cannot see a recession, a policy change or a revision to the data.
