About the Angolan Kwanza

Angola introduced the kwanza in January 1977 to replace the Portuguese-colonial-era escudo shortly after independence in 1975. The long civil war that followed independence, combined with economic mismanagement, drove severe inflation through the 1980s and 90s, forcing the government through several redenominations β€” including a "novo kwanza" and "kwanza reajustado" β€” before the current kwanza was reestablished in 1999.
