FX.co ★ Namibia Lifts Key Interest Rate to 6.75% in June Policy Move

Namibia has raised its benchmark interest rate to 6.75% in June 2026, up from 6.50% set in April 2026. The latest decision, reflected in data updated on 17 June 2026, marks a 0.25 percentage point increase in the policy rate.

The move signals a modest tightening of monetary conditions after a period of stability at 6.50%. While no additional details on the central bank’s rationale were provided, the increase in June indicates policymakers are adjusting borrowing costs in response to evolving economic conditions in Namibia. Investors, businesses and consumers will now face slightly higher interest costs, which could influence credit demand and broader economic activity in the coming months.
