Namibia recorded a modest uptick in consumer prices in March 2026, with the month‑over‑month Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising by 0.20%, according to data updated on 9 April 2026. This follows a flat reading in February 2026, when the CPI showed 0.00% month‑over‑month change.

The latest figure indicates that, after a month of price stagnation, inflationary pressures have begun to re-emerge, albeit at a mild pace. On a month‑over‑month basis, the March increase reflects a comparison of price changes from March to February, while the previous figure captured the movement between February and January.

Although the rise is small, the shift from zero growth to positive territory may signal a turning point in short‑term price dynamics that policymakers, businesses, and consumers will be watching closely in the months ahead.
