  • After independence, the kwanza was created to assert economic sovereignty, but the country faced hyperinflation, civil war, and economic instability.

  • Multiple monetary reforms were undertaken to control inflation and stabilize the currency, including successive redenominations.

  • The current kwanza stabilized after the civil war ended in 2002 but remains volatile due to oil dependence.
