The BNA's Financial Stability Committee (CEF), in a statement released this Monday, decided, in light of this assessment, to maintain the capital conservation reserve at 2.50 percent, applicable to all banking financial institutions.
The CEF also maintained the capital reserve of domestic systemically important banking financial institutions (D-SIBs) between 1 percent and 2 percent, according to the decision of the meeting that took place last Friday, and made public this Monday.
The following are banking financial institutions of systemic importance in Angola: BAI, BFA, BPC, SBA, KEVE, BCI, BMA, BNI, Banco Sol and Banco Económico.
The banking sector demonstrated during the months of October, November and December 2024 "sufficient solidity" to face the risks of financial activity, in light of prudential indicators, since these are within the minimum regulatory limits, according to the Financial Stability Committee.
This BNA body notes, however, that during this period the deterioration of asset quality indicators persisted, with an increase in credit risk, exposure to sovereign risk, "despite its decreasing trend", the concentration of activity in a few banking financial institutions and the limited depth of the secondary securities market.
The next CEF meeting will be held in Luanda on May 30, 2025.
