The Namibian economy will post solid growth of 6.4% annually over the next five years. Growth will be driven in the main by capital-intensive investment projects in the mining and infrastructure space, while key exports such uranium will benefit from robust Chinese demand

The landslide victory for president-elect Hage Geingob and the ruling SWAPO in Namibia's general elections on November 28 2014 augurs for broad political stability and a pro-business economic agenda. The result means that SWAPO will expand on its two thirds majority in the national assembly. Hopes for a shift towards a more inclusive electoral landscape continue to prove elusive.

Namibia's current account deficit will widen to around 9.9% of GDP in 2015 from an estimated 10.3% in 2014, before narrowing to 8.6% of GDP in 2016.

Major Forecast Changes:

We have revised up our real GDP growth forecast for 2015 and 2016, from %.0% each year to 5.3% in 2015 and 5.5% in 2016.

Key Risks To Outlook:

Namibia's small, open economy is highly exposed to events on the world stage. While we have incorporated the ongoing global malaise into our economic forecasts, if the situation abroad deteriorates (or, conversely, improves) more than we anticipate, we would have to adjust our forecasts accordingly.

Much of the economy remains closely tied to agriculture, and weather poses substantial risks, as illustrated by the ongoing drought which has threatened yields and food security. Changing weather conditions pose both upside and downside risks to a number of our forecasts, including for growth, inflation, and trade.
