What happened
The Council of Ministers reviewed Angola's 2027 budget bill, which is set at 37.34 trillion kwanzas (US$40.9 billion). The bill establishes the country's oil price, exchange rate, and spending plans. The review took place on October 27, and was influenced by the Brent spot price, which stood at US$123.10 a barrel at the time.

Why it matters
The budget is tracked by US investors and oil companies. Although the Finance Ministry provided transparent documentation, the president retains extensive powers to reshape the budget after it receives parliamentary approval. The supporting report suggests Angola is beginning to diversify its economy beyond petroleum, though skepticism exists regarding the underlying figures.
