The economic decline continued during the year, which was socioeconomically characterised by the effects of a full-blown recession. The necessary fiscal balancing act impacted on domestic policy matters, which focused increasingly on the parliamentary and presidential elections next year. The governing South West African People’s Organisation (swapo) faced continued internal party conflicts. Not least because of the government’s land policy, interethnic tensions were on the rise and contributed to a tenser political climate with the foundation of a new party. President Hage Geingob, who had been elected with almost 87% of votes in 2014, was confronted with growing public criticism over non-delivery of promises made.
