Namibia: $16M Net Outflows of International Transfers in 2025
Namibia posts $16 million net transfer outflows in 2025 as slower oil projects weigh on FDI and external borrowing.
Namibia recorded net outflows of international transfers totaling N$304.5 million (≈$16M) in 2025, compared to a positive balance in 2024, the Bank of Namibia reports. The rise is driven by payments to non-residents, especially in mining and fishing sectors. Foreign direct investment fell to N$25.1 billion (≈$1.3B) due to slower oil projects, while net external borrowing declined to N$32.9 billion.
