In the Alexforbes Lead Story:
Oil prices have surged above 100 US dollars a barrel for the first time since 2022 after escalating tensions in the Middle East disrupted a key global shipping route. The spike is raising concerns about higher fuel prices, rising inflation, and slower global growth. For Namibia, which imports all of its fuel, the impact could soon be felt locally. To unpack what this means for the economy, Angie Scholtz is joined by Simonis Storm economist, Almandro Jansen.
