2021-04-06
As Namibia marked 31 years of independence, Bank of Namibia governor Johannes !Gawaxab addressed a public lecture under the topic: ‘How does Namibia stack up? – our own story’.
The public lecture narrated Namibia’s success story through the lens of three decades of independence and self-rule, underscored by global accredited rankings on major governance and development indices and socio-economic indicators achieved to date.
The public lecture was held on Friday, 26 March 2021, at the University of Namibia’s Oshakati campus as part of the governor’s series of stakeholder engagements.
Reflecting on some of the country’s socio-economic growth indicators since 1990 to 2020, !Gawaxab indicated that Namibia now boasts a real GDP of N$134 billion, compared to N$50 billion at independence.
