Namibia’s consumer price inflation slowed to 2.90% year-over-year in January 2026, down from 3.20% in December 2025, according to data updated on 12 February 2026. The figures are based on a year-over-year comparison, measuring price changes in January 2026 against those in January 2025, while the previous reading compared December 2025 to December 2024.
The January decline indicates a modest easing in price pressures at the start of 2026, suggesting that inflationary momentum may be cooling compared with the end of last year. The move from 3.20% to 2.90% keeps inflation within a relatively low range, a development that could provide some breathing room for households and policymakers if the trend continues in the coming months.
