JUST IN: The Bank of Namibia announced that Governor Johannes !Gawaxab will step down on 31 December 2025, ending a five-and-a-half-year tenure marked by major reforms and crisis-era leadership. Appointed in June 2020, he steered the bank through the Covid-19 pandemic, rolling out interest rate cuts, regulatory relief and liquidity support that softened the economic shock. His leadership also delivered key governance reforms under the Banking Institutions Act of 2023, strengthened local oversight in the banking sector, and kept inflation stable at an average of 3.6% this year. He played a central role in Namibia’s successful redemption of the US$750 million Eurobond in October, advanced financial inclusion, and drove major digital upgrades, including the Fast Payment System and the growth of the Welwitschia Fund to about N$479 million by September 2025.

WELCOME: The Bank of Namibia says a recent pronouncement by the South African Reserve Bank (SARB) to set an inflation of 3% will help better for control for pricing.

"An analysis carried out by the Bank of Namibia has found that a lower inflation target of 3% in South Africa will result in low and stable long-term inflation in Namibia, which is ultimately good for the objective of price stability. Moreover, the eventual decline in inflation is expected to lead to a reduction in interest rates in the medium term. Mindful of the envisaged benefits of the lower inflation target, the Bank of Namibia welcomes the new target, as this could enhance welfare and macroeconomic stability for Namibia," it said.
