FX.co ★ Namibia’s Annual Inflation Edges Up to 5.6% in October 2026

Namibia’s consumer inflation rate ticked higher in October 2026, with the Year-over-Year Consumer Price Index (CPI) reading rising to 5.60%, up from 5.40% recorded in September 2026. The data, updated on 05 November 2026, indicate a further firming in price pressures compared with the same month a year earlier.

Both the current and previous readings are based on Year-over-Year comparisons, meaning October’s 5.60% figure reflects how prices have changed since October of the prior year, while September’s 5.40% represented the change from September of the previous year. The continued upward drift suggests inflationary dynamics remain present in Namibia’s economy heading into the final quarter of 2026, with price growth accelerating modestly rather than stabilizing.
