The note emphasizes that compared to the same period last year, there was a significant increase of 267.96 billion Kwanzas (38.21%), influenced mainly by the financing of projects in the “Agriculture, Animal Production, Hunting, Forestry, and Fishing” subsector, which recorded an increase of 67.94 billion Kwanzas (19.91%).
