They noted that this was appropriate to safeguard the link between the Namibian Dollar and the South African Rand. According to the Bank, domestic economic activity recovered in 2021, with the economy expected to grow by about 3% in 2022. The increase in the average inflation rate from 2.2% in 2020 to 3.6% in 2021 was the result of supply constraints in food as well as a rise in international oil prices as well as local rent. The stock of international reserve stood at N$ 32.9 billion, which is estimated to cover 5.8 months of imports, which is enough to protect the currency peg as well as meeting Namibia\u2019s international financial obligations.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"alignnormal\"><!-- MetaSlider 271797 not found --><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the local market this week, the NSX Local index was down 1.00% at 505, and the NSX Overall Index was up 0.13% at 1709.9.
