Namibia recorded a trade deficit of N$4.4 billion in April 2026, as imports continued to exceed exports, according to Statistician-General and Namibia Statistics Agency chief executive officer, Alex Shimuafeni.

The country’s total exports for the month amounted to N$9.8 billion, while imports stood at N$14.2 billion.

This marks a deterioration from a N$2.1 billion deficit recorded in April 2025, as well as a wider gap compared to the N$2.3 billion deficit registered in the previous month.
