FX.co ★ Namibia Holds Benchmark Rate at 6.50% in February Review

Namibia’s central bank kept its key interest rate unchanged at 6.50% in its February 2026 decision, maintaining the same level set in December 2025. The move signals a continued wait-and-see stance from policymakers after two consecutive meetings without a rate adjustment.

By holding the benchmark rate at 6.50%, authorities appear focused on preserving monetary stability while monitoring economic and inflation trends into 2026. The unchanged stance may also reflect caution over external conditions and their potential impact on Namibia’s growth and price dynamics.

The latest data, updated on 18 February 2026, confirms that the policy rate has now been steady since December 2025, suggesting that any future shifts in borrowing costs will likely depend on clearer signals from both domestic indicators and the global economic environment.
