April 2021 saw Namibia’s total merchandise trade increase to N$18.7 billion, which is an upsurge of 0.8% and 43.3%, compared to N$18.6 billion and N$13.1 billion recorded in March 2021 and April 2020, respectively. However, the country’s trade balance remained in a deficit of N$2 billion, increasing from N$1.8 billion recorded in both March 2021 and April 2020.
