Inflation remained contained, owing to low international commodity prices. The government's large-scale fiscal program contributed to job creation, and unemployment declined somewhat. Namibia's growth outlook is clouded with downside risks, while facing significant policy challenges. Its main policy challenges are therefore to strengthen its resilience to exogenous shocks and manage systemic risks in the financial sector, while promoting inclusive growth and job creation.
