Circular Letter No. 04/2025 – Implementation Guide for Principle III of the Angolan Financial System Sustainability Principles
The Governor of the National Bank of Angola issued Circular Letter No. 04/2025 to mandate Financial Institutions under its supervision to gradually implement the Angolan Financial System Sustainability Principles, specifically focusing on Principle III. The circular requires these Institutions to develop national and international partnerships aligned with Angola’s climate commitments, such as the UN 2030 Agenda and Paris Agreement, while mandating public disclosure of these collaborations via official websites and social media channels. Additionally, it establishes five core cooperation domains—training, sustainable financing, technology, monitoring, and social inclusion—and requires periodic evaluation of partnership outcomes to ensure alignment with each Institution’s Sustainability Policy.
