Designing and Building a Scalable Data Pipeline for Public Health & Cost-of-Living Insights in Namibia # Scalable Data Pipeline for Cost of Living Analysis in Namibia ## Problem Statement How has inflation evolved in Namibia over time, and how does it coincide with trends in key macro-economic indicators such as GDP per capita and government expenditure? This project builds a scalable data pipeline to analysee inflation trends in Namibia and their association with macroeconomi-c indicators such as GDP per capita and government expenditure using national-level time series data. ## Scope The analysis focuses on macroeconomic time series patterns and does not attempt to infer causality or micro-level economic impacts from 1993 to 2024, with projections till 2030. ## How to activate the Virtual Environment 1.
