FNB Namibia has projected a relatively stable rental market, citing the moderation of inflation and the sustained peak of the repo rate at 7.75%, with a gradual cutting cycle expected to extend through 2026.

The bank’s rent price index reveals that the gross rental return on residential properties for the third quarter of 2023 stood at 7.0% on a 12-month rolling basis.
