Finance Minister Ericah Shafudah presented the 2026/2027 mid-year budget review, cutting the 2026 economic growth forecast to 2.3 percent from 3.1 percent.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The lower growth forecast and reduced revenue projections, particularly for diamond taxes and royalties, reflect weakening mining performance. The government projects public debt will reach 68.7 percent of GDP in 2026/2027, with a budget deficit of 5.5 percent of GDP.

The International Monetary Fund assesses Namibia's weak economic growth, noting that war escalation risks the nation's economic outlook.
