flag Namibia's economy grew 1.6% in Q2 2025, its weakest pace since 2018, due to declining trade and agriculture, despite gains in mining and construction.

flag Namibia's economy grew 1.6% year-on-year in Q2 2025, the weakest pace since 2018, down from 3.3% in the same period last year, according to FNB Namibia. flag Mining rose 2.7% on strong uranium output, and construction grew 4.9%, but wholesale and retail trade slowed to 5.2% from 9.1%, and transport dipped to 1.1% from 11.9%. flag Agriculture contracted 3.5% due to disease and reduced livestock sales, while fishing fell 4.4%. flag Despite the slowdown, FNB maintains its full-year GDP forecast at 3.0%, citing expected rebounds in agriculture and manufacturing, though high unemployment, inflation, and housing costs may limit growth to around 2.2% if consumer spending weakens.
