Namibia's producer price index (PPI) experienced a quarterly decline of 3.9 percent in the fourth quarter (Q4) of 2025, despite posting a year-on-year increase of 3.1 percent.

• The quarterly dip was largely due to price declines in commodities like diamonds (down 36 percent), uranium, and zinc within the mining and quarrying sector.
• The Namibia Statistics Agency (NSA) released this data on Friday.
• Annual growth was driven by price increases in sectors such as mining and quarrying (e.g., gold up 50.4 percent) and manufacturing (e.g., onshore fish processing up 81.2 percent).
