Namibia Sees Surge in Business Registrations Early in 2025

Namibia recorded a total of 3,192 new business registrations in the first four months of 2025, marking a 27% increase compared to the same period last year. This notable growth points to rising business confidence and a more optimistic outlook for the country’s economic recovery.

Data released by the Bank of Namibia shows that close corporation registrations jumped by 28.3%, while new private (Pty) Ltd company formations grew by 17.3%. These figures suggest that both small entrepreneurs and more structured enterprises are taking bold steps to formalise and grow their ventures.

Despite the year-on-year improvement, the report also notes a slight dip in new registrations on a quarterly basis, highlighting the need for continued support to sustain momentum in the business sector.

The sharp rise in early-year registrations reflects a growing entrepreneurial spirit among Namibians and signals renewed trust in the local economic environment.

PDM Rolls Out Financial Recovery Plan Following Setbacks

The Popular Democratic Movement (PDM) has launched a three-month plan aimed at stabilising its finances after facing internal challenges linked to a drop in parliamentary representation. The party saw a decrease in its National Assembly seats in the recent elections, which led to a significant reduction in its public funding. In response, PDM has been forced to shut down several regional offices and lay off staff to manage costs.

Party president McHenry Venaani said the movement is now focused on restructuring to improve efficiency and position itself for a stronger performance in the 2029 elections.

He stressed the importance of adopting a modern approach, reconnecting with communities, and running campaigns grounded in solid policy to rebuild public confidence.

Despite the current financial difficulties, PDM remains committed to being a watchdog over government actions, championing democracy, and standing up for ordinary Namibians who feel unheard.

Bank of Namibia Holds Repo Rate Steady at 6.75%

Windhoek – The Bank of Namibia has decided to maintain the repo rate at 6.75%, following its latest monetary policy meeting held this week.

Announcing the decision on Wednesday, Governor Johannes !Gawaxab stated that the central bank is closely monitoring inflationary pressures and overall economic conditions. The unchanged rate reflects a cautious approach aimed at safeguarding economic stability while managing the cost of living.

“The Monetary Policy Committee opted to hold the repo rate steady to support domestic economic activity while also addressing inflationary risks,” said !Gawaxab.

The repo rate is the benchmark interest rate at which the central bank lends money to commercial banks. It directly affects the interest rates consumers and businesses pay on loans and mortgages.

💡 What This Means for You:
Loan repayments remain unchanged, no immediate increase or decrease in monthly payments.

Inflation control remains a top priority for the central bank.

Investors and savers should continue monitoring inflation, as any future rate hikes could impact the cost of borrowing and returns on savings.

The Bank of Namibia reiterated its commitment to ensuring price and financial stability in the face of global economic uncertainty and domestic challenges.
