Namibia’s consumer price inflation slowed sharply in July 2026, with the month‑on‑month Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising just 0.10%, down from 0.30% in June 2026. The fresh data, updated on 13 August 2026, indicate a noticeable deceleration in short‑term price pressures across the economy.
On a month‑over‑month basis, the current figure shows that prices continued to rise, but at a much softer pace than in the previous period. June’s 0.30% reading reflected the change in prices from May to June, while July’s 0.10% marks the change from June to July, underscoring a moderation in the momentum of inflation.
The slowdown in CPI growth may be interpreted by market participants and policymakers as a sign of easing immediate inflationary pressures, although the implications for monetary policy and broader economic conditions will depend on how this trend evolves in subsequent months.
