Namibia may be keeping inflation under control, but a new global ranking shows that the country is struggling to compete with other economies because of problems affecting businesses, investment and economic growth.
The 2026 International Institute for Management Development (IMD) World Competitiveness Ranking places Namibia 69th out of 70 countries, dropping one place from last year.
The ranking measures how well a country creates an environment where businesses can grow, investors can operate and people can access opportunities.
Namibia’s position means while the country has managed to maintain stable prices, it continues to face challenges that make it harder for companies to expand, create jobs and compete internationally.
