Report Coverage

This report on the Angolan banking industry covers deposit-taking institutions which include other credit granting, lease financing, and loyalty and reward programmes, as well as central banking. It contains information on the state and size of the industry, the factors that influence its performance and regulatory and other issues specific to the sector. There are profiles of 24 companies including state-owned Banco de Poupanca e Credito, which has been recapitalised by the government twice between 2016 and 2018 and Banco Económico, one of the banks identified for privatisation, in which Sonangol has 70.37%. There are also profiles of Standard Bank de Angola, a subsidiary of Standard Bank of South Africa and Standard Chartered Bank de Angola, formed by United Kingdom-based Standard Chartered Bank.

The Banking Sector in Angola

Angola’s banking industry is dominated by six banks and competition from non-bank institutions such as microlenders remains low. A distinct characteristic of the Angolan banking sector is the participation of the state, ruling party loyalists and state-owned enterprises such as the national oil company Sonangol in private banks, and policy dictates that foreign banks can only operate in Angola through joint ventures with local and state-owned companies. During the past 17 years, the Angolan banking sector has expanded rapidly to become the third-largest sector in sub-Saharan Africa behind South Africa and Nigeria. The number of licensed commercial banks increased from nine in 2003 to 26 in July 2019.

Privatisation

The Angolan government is implementing a macroeconomic stabilisation programme focused on strengthening fiscal sustainability, reducing inflation, promoting a more flexible exchange rate regime and improving financial sector stability. Its national development programme includes strengthening financial sector resilience, recapitalising weak banks, and restructuring the largest state-owned bank. It plans to privatise most of the 195 state-owned companies or companies in which the state participates by 2020. The restructuring and privatisation of state-owned banks will increase competition among the commercial banks.

Report Coverage

The detailed report on the Angolan banking sector describes the current market, the latest regulatory developments and discusses factors influencing the success of the sector. The report profiles 24 companies, including the five leading banks, Banco Angolano de Investimentos (BAI), Banco de Poupança e Crédito (BPC), Banco de Fomento Angola (BFA), Banco Privado Atlântico (BPA) and Banco Internacional de Credito Angola (Banco BIC). Also profiled are Standard Bank de Angola (SBdA), a subsidiary of Standard Bank of South Africa, and Banco VTB Africa, S.A. (VTB), a partnership between Russian bank VTB Bank and Angolan partners which specialises in the provision of corporate banking services to international companies operating in the country.

The Banking Sector in Angola

This report focuses on the Angolan banking industry and includes other credit granting, lease financing, and loyalty and reward programmes. The finance, real estate and business services sector contributed 3.6% to GDP in 2013 and with total banking assets in 2014 of approximately US$65.5bn, the banking sector plays a vital role in the country’s economy.

A Flourishing Sector

Since the end of the civil war in 2002, the Angolan banking sector has evolved from a state-controlled financial system into a flourishing sector espousing privatisation and liberalisation. Of the 29 commercial banks that are currently licensed to conduct business, three are state-owned. However, through the state oil company, Sonangol, the government has retained an indirect stake in six other banking institutions. There is a high level of concentration, with five banks controlling 73% of the country’s total banking assets, and 77% of deposits and short-term funding.

Challenging Conditions

Since 2015 the Angolan banking sector has seen a slowdown in its growth rate and is facing major challenges as a result of the low oil price and the lack of economic liquidity in terms of foreign currency. Increasing pressure on economic growth is evident in the inflation rate that climbed to 20.3% in February 2016, the highest it has been since December 2005. Interest rates were increased to 14% in March 2016, following a raise to 12% the previous month and the World Bank anticipates that Angola’s US$113.9bn economy will contract by 0.3% in 2016.
