Namibia's central bank on Wednesday raised its main lending rate by 75 basis points to 6.25%, tightening policy further to try to curb inflation.
Namibia's annual inflation dropped to 7.1% last month from 7.3% in August.
As well as trying to ensure price stability, the Bank of Namibia also tries to safeguard the 1:1 link between the Namibian dollar and South African rand, which means it often mirrors rate decisions by the central bank of its neighbour.
