Analysis# Namibia Total Investment Namibia's total investment stands at 19.054% of GDP in 2026, representing a modest 0.4% decline from 2004 levels. The country experienced its investment peak at 36.021% of GDP in 2014, more than double the current level. A sharp contraction followed, reaching an all-time low of 14.158% in 2020 during the pandemic before beginning recovery. The period from 2020 to 2023 marked a significant reversal, with investment climbing steeply to 28.023% of GDP—the second-highest level on record. Since that 2023 peak, however, investment has declined for three consecutive years, falling to 19.054% in 2026. This downward trajectory suggests cooling investment momentum in Namibia's economy despite remaining above pandemic lows.
