FNB Namibia Anticipates Inflation Drop to 4.4%

FNB Namibia forecasts a decrease in headline inflation from 4.6% in June this year to 4.4% last month. This decline is mainly due to reduced transport inflation, linked to eased costs in personal transport and vehicle purchases. The drop is supported by recent global oil price stabilization and the Mines and Energy ministry’s July fuel price cuts. Helena Mboti, an Economist at FNB Namibia.
