The strength of an emerging oil and gas industry will depend as much on the frameworks that govern it as the resources themselves. Shakwa Nyambe, Founder and Managing Partner of SNC Incorporated and Immediate Past President of the Association of International Energy Negotiators (AIEN), is joining the Bank of Namibia Annual Symposium 2026 as a panellist. With extensive experience in energy, natural resources and commercial law, Nyambe has advised governments, state owned enterprises and international corporations and previously served as Legal Counsel at the National Petroleum Corporation of Namibia and Chief Legal Officer at the Ministry of Justice. He will contribute to the discussion on strengthening governance, institutional capacity and legal frameworks in the oil and gas industry, bringing a distinctly Namibian perspective to the choices that must be made ahead of production.

Oil may be the opportunity. But what will determine whether Namibia actually benefits from it? On 24 September 2026, the Bank of Namibia Annual Symposium shifts the conversation from what lies beneath our waters to what we do before the first barrel is produced. Under the theme “Namibia’s Pre-Oil Production Phase: Assessing Choices That Unlock Long-Term Economic Value,” the Symposium will interrogate the choices that could ultimately determine whether Namibia’s oil discoveries translate into lasting national value. From institutional and legal readiness, skills and local participation, to governance and lessons from other oil-producing economies, the discussion goes beyond the promise of oil to confront a much bigger question: How do we get it right before first oil? Coming up Live on our social media platforms.

Yesterday, the Bank of Namibia officially handed over two Philips IntelliValue monitors to the Paediatric Cardiac Intensive Care Unit at Windhoek Central Hospital, reinforcing the Bank’s commitment to supporting initiatives that contribute to the health and well-being of Namibia’s children. The monitors were handed over by Deputy Governor Ms. Leonie Dunn and received by Mr. Johannes Gaeseb, Director of Tertiary Services at the Ministry of Health and Social Services. "While the Bank of Namibia’s core mandate centers on monetary and financial stability, we recognise that sustainable national development ultimately depends on the well-being of our people. A healthy population is better positioned to learn, work, innovate and participate meaningfully in the economic and social development of our country. Through our Corporate Social Investment and Responsibility Programme, the Bank therefore seeks to support credible initiatives that address identified national needs and can make a meaningful and lasting difference in the communities we serve", said Deputy Governor Dunn.

Recently, the Bank of Namibia’s Financial Markets Department (FMD) hosted a bilateral engagement with the Deutsche Bundesbank to strengthen capacity in investment and international reserves management. The engagement formed part of the EU-funded European System of Central Banks (ESCB) programme with African central banks, which promotes knowledge exchange and institutional capacity building among participating central banks. As part of the engagement, FMD hosted two Financial Markets experts from the @bundesbank, Torsten Rothe, Head of Foreign Reserve Management Section and Kim Robin Erhart , Senior Portfolio Manager, for three days of technical discussions and knowledge exchange. The sessions brought together strategic reserve management concepts and practical portfolio management applications, covering reserve management governance, strategic and tactical asset allocation, liquidity management, benchmark design, performance attribution, credit analysis and risk management. The engagement provided a valuable platform for the Bank’s Financial Markets team to exchange experiences with their Bundesbank counterparts and gain further insights into operational processes and international reserve management practices. Through partnerships such as these, the Bank continues to strengthen the capabilities of its Financial Markets Department and advance sound international practices in the prudent management of Namibia’s international reserves.

Learners at Epukiro Secondary School in the Omaheke Region now have access to a more interactive and digitally enabled learning environment following the installation of a Clevertouch Smart Board supported by the Bank of Namibia in collaboration with Eduvision Namibia. Yesterday, Deputy Governor of the Bank of Namibia, Mr. Nicholas Mukasa officially handed over the technology to the school’s Principal, Mr. Sagarias Uanivi. The Smart Board enables teachers to present curriculum-aligned digital content, demonstrate scientific and geographical concepts visually, work through mathematics problems step by step, and conduct interactive exercises that promote greater learner participation. Through Eduvision Namibia’s online learning platform, Epukiro can also connect with other participating schools. Teachers can deliver live lessons to multiple classrooms simultaneously, expanding access to learning resources and expertise that may not always be readily available in rural communities. This support forms part of the Bank of Namibia’s Corporate Social Investment and Responsibility Programme, under which education remains a key focus area. It reflects the Bank’s commitment to helping bridge the digital divide and ensuring that a learner’s location does not limit their access to technology-enhanced education. In addition to Epukiro Secondary School, the Bank has supported the installation of Smart Boards at: •Gam Secondary School – Otjozondjupa Region •Cornelius Goreseb High School – Kunene Region •Gochas Secondary School – Hardap Region •Himarwa Iithete Senior Secondary School – Kavango West Region By expanding access to digital learning tools, the Bank is helping equip young Namibians with the knowledge, skills and technological exposure required to participate meaningfully in an increasingly digital and knowledge-based economy.

The Bank of Namibia has been recognised with the 2026 Institutional Leadership Award by the Alliance for Financial Inclusion (AFI) at the Global Policy Forum in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea. The award was received on behalf of the Bank by Deputy Governor Leonie Dunn, who also serves as a member of the AFI Board of Directors. The recognition reflects the Bank’s leadership and continued contribution to advancing financial inclusion through global policy dialogue, peer learning and knowledge exchange across the AFI network.

Complementing the Bank’s institutional recognition, Mrs Sesilia Nekwaya-Okafor, Principal Economist at the Bank of Namibia, received the 2026 Technical Leadership Award for her contribution to AFI’s Financial Inclusion Data and Impact Working Group (FIDIWG), where she serves as Co-Chair and Gender Focal Point Lead.

This week, the Bank of Namibia hosted a Benchmarking Week, bringing together central bankers from 13 countries across Africa for three (3) days of structured knowledge exchange, peer learning and institutional collaboration. In advancing its ambition to become a knowledge-based institution, the Bank used the week to share its own practices while learning from the experiences of peer central banks. Across plenary and technical sessions, experts exchanged perspectives on digital transformation and artificial intelligence, smart regulation, climate and sustainability, monetary policy and research, financial stability, strategic communication, international relations and protocol, IT governance and cybersecurity, strategy management, national payment systems, resolution and information management. Joining the Bank for the engagement were representatives from Banco Nacional de Angola, Bank of Botswana (@bankofbotswana), Central Bank of Eswatini, Bank of Ghana (@thebankofghana), Central Bank of Kenya (@cbkkenya), Central Bank of Lesotho, Banco de Moçambique (@bancomoc), Bank of Uganda (@BOU_Official), Bank of Zambia (@BankofZambia), South African Reserve Bank (@SAReserveBank), Bank of Tanzania (@BankOfTanzania), National Bank of Rwanda (@CentralBankRw) and Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (@ReserveBankZIM). Through dedicated peer-learning sessions, visiting central banks also shared practices and lessons from their own jurisdictions, allowing the discussions to move beyond presentations towards practical comparison, problem-solving and the identification of opportunities for continued technical cooperation.

The Bank of Namibia recently hosted a high-level delegation from the Bank of Botswana (@bankofbotswana), led by Governor Lesego Moseki and Deputy Governor Dr. Agnes Khunwana, as part of continued engagement between the two institutions. The visit served as an opportunity for the central banks to exchange perspectives and experiences across several areas of mutual interest, while further strengthening a longstanding institutional relationship underpinned by a Memorandum of Understanding for mutual collaboration. During the visit to Namibia, the delegation engaged with the Bank of Namibia’s senior management, joined the Bank’s Monetary Policy Announcement and participated in a Public Lecture hosted jointly by the Bank of Namibia and the University of Namibia (@unam_na). At the Public Lecture, Governor Moseki shared Botswana’s experience through his presentation, “The Pula Fund: Past, Present and Future,” reflecting on the country’s management of mineral wealth and the importance of fiscal discipline, deliberate saving, economic diversification and strong institutions. His contribution complemented the Namibian perspective presented by Bank of Namibia Governor Mr Ebson Uanguta and provided an opportunity for stakeholders to draw lessons between Botswana’s established resource-management journey and Namibia’s emerging opportunities. The engagement reflects the enduring ties between the Bank of Namibia and the Bank of Botswana and the value both institutions continue to place on peer learning, knowledge exchange and closer cooperation in advancing sound central banking and economic development in the region.

The Bank of Namibia, in collaboration with the University of Namibia (UNAM), today hosted a Public Lecture to deepen national dialogue on how Namibia can translate its natural resource endowments into sustainable, inclusive and intergenerational prosperity. The engagement brought together the Governor of the Bank of Namibia, Mr. Ebson Uanguta, and the Governor of the Bank of Botswana, Mr. Lesego Caster Moseki, alongside students, academics, professionals from various sectors and other stakeholders. The platform provided an opportunity not only to share perspectives on resource-led development, but also for participants to engage the Governors directly through questions and dialogue on economic diversification, sovereign wealth management, investment, skills development and the choices required to secure long-term national prosperity. Governor Uanguta delivered a presentation titled “Building Wealth Beyond Natural Resources: Creating Namibia’s Next Growth Story,” in which he highlighted that while natural resources remain an important anchor of the Namibian economy, resource wealth alone cannot guarantee broad-based prosperity. Namibia’s economic structure remains exposed to external shocks and is characterised by capital-intensive sectors with relatively low employment absorption, reinforcing the need to broaden the country’s productive base. Governor Moseki complemented the Namibian perspective with Botswana’s experience through his presentation on “The Pula Fund: Past, Present and Future.” He traced Botswana’s journey from mineral discovery to the establishment of one of Africa’s oldest sovereign wealth funds, illustrating how diamond revenues were channelled into infrastructure, education, healthcare and social protection, while a portion of the country’s wealth was preserved for future generations. He noted that successful resource management requires fiscal discipline, deliberate saving, diversification and strong institutions, particularly because commodity booms can conceal underlying vulnerabilities until revenues begin to decline.

Yesterday, the Bank of Namibia hosted its 2026 Monetary Policy Dialogue under the theme “Navigating Economic Change: Implications for Monetary Policy and Resilience.” Led by Governor Ebson Uanguta, the Dialogue brought together economists, analysts, researchers, policymakers and other stakeholders for an open exchange on the economic developments shaping Namibia’s monetary policy environment. The Governor’s presentation unpacked the latest global and domestic economic developments, including slower global growth, geopolitical tensions and oil price volatility, persistent inflation risks, subdued diamond prices and the growing importance of uranium. Domestically, the discussion focused on Namibia’s moderate growth outlook, inflation, private sector credit extension, the widening merchandise trade deficit, foreign reserve adequacy and the Bank’s Gold Acquisition Programme. The engagement also reiterated the day’s monetary policy decision, with the Monetary Policy Committee unanimously maintaining the Repo rate at 6.75 percent. The decision was deemed appropriate to support the international reserve stock and safeguard the one-to-one link between the Namibia Dollar and the South African Rand. Stakeholders had an opportunity to engage directly with the Governor and members of the MPC, raise questions on the monetary policy decision and interrogate the economic trends, risks and opportunities presented. The Bank was also honoured to be joined by Mr Lesego Caster Moseki, Governor of the Bank of Botswana, whose participation underscored the strong cooperation between the two central banks and the importance of regional collaboration in navigating an increasingly complex economic environment. The Dialogue remains an important platform for strengthening understanding of monetary policy while bringing diverse perspectives into conversations about Namibia’s economic outlook and resilience.

The seminar brought together leaders in the banking and non-banking financial industry, international regulatory authorities, oil and gas industry representatives, and other key stakeholders to examine how Namibia’s financial sector can prepare for and sustainably support the country’s emerging oil and gas industry.

Tom Alweendo; Mr David Kalyango, Executive Director for Supervision and Regulation at the Bank of Uganda (@BOU_Official); and Mr Rowland Brown, Director of Cirrus Capital (@cirrus_capital).
