Angola is weighing a return to the offshore bond market this year as yields on its international debt have declined and investor appetite for African bonds has strengthened, analysts note. The government has held talks with banks about a potential issuance, though no final decision has been made. Earlier plans to issue bonds were delayed due to geopolitical risks and weaker oil prices, but borrowing conditions have improved since then. The move follows Kenya’s successful $1.5bn bond sale, which drew strong investor demand. As Africa’s third-largest oil producer, Angola has benefited from rising crude output and fiscal reforms, including fuel subsidy cuts, to strengthen its finances. The country also faces a $864mn bond maturity in November.
Its 8.75% 2032s are trading at 95.7, yielding 9.65%, the lowest in nearly 15 months.
