The Bank of Namibia has again increased the repo rate, this time by 50 basis points, from 5.5 to 6.75 percent.

Governor Johannes !Gawaxab says the raise is done in an effort to anchor inflation expectations as well as safeguard the one-on-one peg arrangement with South Africa.

The Bank of Namibia (BoN) has decided to increase the repo rate by 75 basis points, to 6.5%.

The central bank also warned that inflation, which is the main cause of the repo rate, will persist for a longer period of time, driven by factors beyond Namibia's control.
