The National Bank of Angola issued Notice No. 06/2025 to update the minimum share capital requirements for Banking Financial Institutions under its supervision. The regulation mandates that commercial banks maintain a fully paid-up capital of at least 25 billion kwanzas, while development banks must hold no less than 50 billion kwanzas. Institutions falling below these thresholds are granted a transitional period until June 2028 to comply through capital increases, mergers, or activity transfers, with non-compliance constituting a punishable offense under the General Regime for Financial Institutions.
