today18 December, 2024

Background

Josefina Oskar from the Bank of Namibia reported that the economy grew by 2.8% in Q3 of this year, slower than the 3.1% in the same period last year. The decline was mainly due to weaker agriculture and mining sectors, while manufacturing and construction saw growth. Inflation eased to 4.1%, with the headline rate dropping to 3.0% in October and November.
