In light of geopolitical tensions and economic disruptions, achieving the proposed fiscal outcomes for the 2026/27 financial year will require significant improvements in how offices, ministries and agencies (OMAs) manage their daily operations.

Prime Minister Elijah Ngurare says Namibia is standing at a critical juncture as it prepares to implement its 2026/27 national budget of N$87.9 billion, a fiscal framework he says was tabled under initially stable global conditions that have since shifted sharply due to the ongoing war in the Middle East.
Ngurare told a budget reform rollout workshop held in Windhoek that the changing global environment is already exerting pressure on Namibia’s economy.
