Namibia’s consumer prices rose at a slightly faster pace in May 2026, with the country’s Month-over-Month Consumer Price Index (CPI) increasing by 1.20%, up from 1.10% in April 2026. The latest data, updated on 11 June 2026, indicates a modest acceleration in price growth compared with the previous month.
The “actual” May reading reflects the change in prices from April to May, while the “previous” figure for April represents the change from March to April. The uptick from 1.10% to 1.20% suggests a marginal strengthening of short-term inflation pressures within Namibia’s economy, though the move remains incremental rather than abrupt.
Market participants and analysts monitoring Namibia’s inflation trajectory will likely view the May print as a continuation of a gradual upward trend in monthly price dynamics, with attention now turning to whether this momentum persists in the coming months.
