The AOA/USD pair shows how many Angolan Kwanzas are needed to buy one US Dollar, reflecting Angola's oil-driven economy and US monetary policy.
Each row combines a UTC date, a rate and the change from the previous available observation. A positive change means the base currency buys more of the quote currency than on the previous available date.
Days without a quotation are not interpolated: the series keeps only observations that were actually received.
Compare several periods before a trip, an international transfer or a foreign-currency invoice. The average, minimum and maximum provide a quick reference, while the table enables a date-by-date check.
The AOA/USD exchange rate indicates the value of the Angolan Kwanza relative to the US Dollar. This directed pair is quoted as the number of Kwanzas required to purchase one Dollar. It is primarily used by businesses and individuals engaged in trade, investment, or remittances between Angola and the United States. When the Kwanza appreciates against the Dollar, fewer Kwanzas are needed to buy one Dollar, making Angolan exports more expensive and imports cheaper.
The exchange rate is influenced by the monetary policies of the Banco Nacional de Angola (BNA) and the Federal Reserve (Fed). Angola's economy is heavily dependent on oil exports, so global oil prices significantly affect the Kwanza. Higher oil prices boost Angola's export revenues and support the Kwanza, while lower prices weaken it. The Fed's interest rate decisions impact the Dollar's strength, with higher rates attracting capital flows to the US. Inflation differentials, economic growth, and political stability in Angola also play key roles.
Over the past several years, the AOA/USD rate has experienced significant depreciation due to Angola's reliance on oil revenues and structural economic challenges. The Kwanza has weakened as oil prices fluctuated and the country faced fiscal pressures. The BNA has occasionally intervened to manage volatility, but the long-term trend has been downward for the Kwanza. Future movements will depend on oil market dynamics, Angola's economic reforms, and global financial conditions.
