Namibia's Consumer Price Index (CPI) saw a slight uptick in September 2025, with the indicator reaching 3.50%, according to the latest data updated on October 9, 2025. This marks an increase from August's CPI of 3.20%. The CPI measures the average change over time in the prices paid by urban consumers for a market basket of consumer goods and services, reflecting inflationary trends in the economy.

The year-over-year comparison highlights ongoing pressures in the Namibian market as the September CPI is evaluated against the same month in the previous year. This rising trend indicates an increase in inflationary pressures, as reflected in the escalating prices across various consumer categories.

As Namibia navigates this period of economic adjustment, stakeholders in the financial and consumer markets will be closely monitoring these changes and their potential impact on domestic purchasing power and economic stability. Policymakers may consider these figures crucial in shaping future fiscal and monetary strategies to maintain balance and propel economic growth.
