Namibia’s consumer price pressures came to a standstill in February 2026, with the month‑over‑month Consumer Price Index (CPI) registering 0.00%, down sharply from 0.80% in January 2026. The latest data, updated on 12 March 2026, indicate that prices on average did not rise between January and February, following a notable monthly increase at the start of the year.

On a month‑over‑month basis, the “actual” February reading of 0.00% compares with the “previous” 0.80% rate recorded in January, which itself measured the change from December to January. The abrupt slowdown suggests a temporary pause in price momentum after a stronger inflation pulse in the prior month, and will likely be closely watched by market participants and policymakers assessing near‑term inflation dynamics and potential implications for monetary policy.
