About Gross Domestic Product YoY — NA
DEFINITION
Namibia’s Gross Domestic Product YoY contracted by -0.500000% in February 2026, reversing January’s 2.600000% expansion. This marks the first negative reading since early 2021, highlighting a sharp loss of growth momentum across key sectors. Market sentiment turned cautious as equities and the NAD weakened, with the Bank of Namibia maintaining a data-dependent policy stance. Updated 3/26/26
WHY THIS INDICATOR MATTERS
Aggregate growth figures anchor cyclical positioning across asset classes and inform fiscal and monetary policy debate. The release is more useful as part of a longer-run signal than as a single-print catalyst. Released monthly.
WHAT CHANGED THIS MONTH
Latest reading (Oct 2025): actual -0.5 %. Prior reading (Apr 2025): 1.6 %. Before that (Jan 2025): 2.7 %.
WHAT'S NEXT
Sigmacast's 1-month forecast points to a materially lower reading versus the latest print, with the 3-month outlook reinforcing that direction. Both horizons are aligned bearish for this indicator, suggesting a consistent trend signal. Trend-driven dynamics are the primary headwind in the current projection.
