flag Namibia faces fiscal strain after using domestic funds to repay a $750 million bond, worsening liquidity and debt pressures.

flag Namibia’s government faces ongoing cash flow strain after repaying its US$750 million Eurobond using domestic funds, reducing banking sector liquidity. flag A projected N$3.2 billion revenue shortfall and a drop in SACU revenue to N$21 billion in 2025 worsen fiscal pressures. flag Finance Minister Ericah Shafudah warned of a N$14.4 billion debt servicing burden in 2025/26, with 85% of debt now foreign but nearly all denominated in South African rand, minimizing exchange rate risk. flag The government is pursuing phased deficit reduction, improved project execution, and expanded social programs, including education subsidies and youth entrepreneurship support, while its Sovereign Wealth Fund grows to N$489 billion.
