Angola
People's Republic of Angola owed $58.73B to nonresidents in 2024, the 25th largest stock among the 120 economies that report to the Debtor Reporting System. Its first external-debt stock in IDS is 1989.
Who Angola owes
Public and publicly guaranteed debt by creditor class, percent of PPG, 1989–2024. In 2024 PPG stood at $46.11B: 77.6% owed to private creditors, 13.4% to multilateral lenders, and 8.9% to bilateral and other official creditors as a residual.

What Angola pays, and what it is contracted to pay
Angola paid $10.87B in external debt service in 2024. It is contracted to pay $15.65B in 2025 and $70.36B in total over 2025–2032 on debt it has already contracted. Those years are a repayment schedule, not a forecast of what Angola will pay: borrowing it has not yet done cannot be in them.

Selection: DT.TDS.DECT.CD (total debt service) and DT.TDS.DPPG.CD (PPG debt service) for AGO, all years present in the file. Actual through 2024, which is the last year of the debt-stock series; everything after it is the contracted repayment schedule. Methodology
The stock, 1989–2024
Total external debt in current US dollars, so the path mixes new borrowing with the falling value of the dollar over 35 years. IDS carries no constant-price series, so this is not deflated. $7.29B in 1989, $58.73B in 2024.

What IDS does not carry for Angola
1 of the 24 IDS indicators carries no value for Angola in 2024: Debt forgiveness grants (current US$). A blank has three possible causes and IDS distinguishes none of them: the country did not report the series, the series does not apply to it (an IBRD stock for a country with no IBRD loan), or the series has ended for every country. So neither does this page.
Every IDS series here is what Angola reported to the World Bank. The bilateral leg of the creditor chart is the exception: this page derives it as a residual, and it absorbs whatever went unreported. Debt Angola did not report is not here.
