On November 6, 2025, updated economic data unveiled that Namibia’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) experienced a modest increase of 0.50% in October, marking a positive movement after recording 0.00% growth rate in September. This month-over-month change highlights a revival in consumer price escalation, suggesting that recent economic measures may be impacting the cost of goods and services in Namibia.
The pause in the CPI during September indicated a temporary stabilization in market prices, but the current figures suggest a return to an upward trajectory in consumer costs. Economists will be closely monitoring if this trend continues in the coming months as they assess the overall economic health of the country.
This increment in the CPI, a key indicator for inflation, will be crucial to policymakers and businesses, as it may influence decisions on interest rates and investment strategies. With renewed inflationary pressure, Namibians will be looking to see how this impacts their purchasing power in the near future.
