Secondary industries, such as manufacturing and construction, faced challenges, highlighting the need for economic diversification and strategic infrastructure development,\u201d an SS analysis report reads.<\/p>\n<p>SS emphasised that moving forward, Namibia\u2019s economic success will depend on diversifying economic activities, managing external vulnerabilities, and fostering sustainable growth across all sectors. This approach, the brokerage stated, is vital for building a resilient and balanced economy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Namibian economy continues to demonstrate growth rates not seen in a decade, as indicated by the latest data release revealing a robust economic expansion of 7.2% (an increase of N$2.6 billion from N$36.1 billion in 3Q2022) in the third quarter of 2023. This marks an improvement from the 5.5% growth rate recorded in the 2Q2023 and the 5.4% recorded in the 3Q2022. Notably, this quarter represents the tenth consecutive period of growth since the onset of the pandemic. In nominal terms, the economy also expanded to N$59.7 billion in the third quarter from N$52.9 billion in 3Q2022, reflecting a y\/y increase of 12.9%,\u201d SS stated.<\/p>\n<p>Also during Q3 2023, private final consumption expenditure reached N$46.3 billion, marking a N$2.6 billion increase and a real growth of 1.3% compared to the same period last year.<\/p>\n<p>According to SS, government\u2019s final consumption expenditure saw a modest rise of N$300 million but experienced a real-term decline of 0.7%, attributed to reduced spending on employee compensation and goods and services.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNonetheless, an increase in government expenditure of approximately N$1.7 billion is anticipated in the next financial year, following the recent announcement of a comprehensive salary and benefits increase for civil servants in Namibia,\u201d SS stated.<\/p>\n<p>The stock brokerage continued that Gross Fixed Capital Formation showed a remarkable increase of 36.3%, driven largely by significant investments in mineral exploration within the mining sector. This substantial growth, SS noted, spurred by initiatives in oil and gas exploration and green hydrogen projects, is indicative of growing investor confidence in these sectors.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, during the third quarter of 2023, the export of goods and services saw an increase of N$2.2 billion, reaching a total of N$22.8 billion. This represents a real growth of 7.4% during the quarter, though it marks a deceleration from the 25.7% increase recorded in the third quarter of 2022. On the import side, there was an 11.2% increase in goods and services, amounting to N$37.1 billion in nominal terms. This reflects a N$5.2 billion increase from the same quarter in the previous year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNamibia last recorded a trade surplus in April 2019. The ongoing trade deficit highlights the economic challenges stemming from a persistent trade imbalance, characterised by the nation\u2019s import expenditures substantially exceeding its export revenues. This imbalance exerts a downward pressure on the GDP.<\/p>\n<p>Looking ahead, Namibia\u2019s trade balance is expected to continue showing a deficit, a situation further complicated by the global economic context of subdued demand,\u201d the SS report stated.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/namibia\">Namibia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Namibia.
