The Bank of Namibia held the repo rate at 6.00% to accommodate a weak economy as inflation appeared "not demand driven". The Bank said: "The executive commission felt that a change in the stance at this point would run the risk of unduly depressing domestic demand at a time when this demand is not the cause of recent inflation acceleration,". Namibia's inflation rose to 3.8% in March from 3.1% in the previous month, mainly driven by food and transport costs.
