The Bank of Namibia (BoN) projects an increase in the government's income as well as a narrowing of the budget deficit for the 2023–24 financial year.

In its June 2023 quarterly report, the central bank says the government's debt is expected to decline to 4,6% of the Gross Domestic Product from 5,1% in the previous financial year.

Revenue collection is expected to increase by 16,5% to N$74.7 billion, owing to a significant increase in SACU receipts, coupled with a rise in company and individual taxes as well as value-added tax.
