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.

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.

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 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 Bank of Namibia hosted the Oil and Gas Seminar, the third in its seminar series, under the theme, “Positioning Namibia’s Financial Sector for a Sustainable Oil and Gas Economy”. 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. The discussions drew on international experience and local perspectives to examine the regulatory preparedness, financing models, institutional capacity, local participation and risk-management frameworks required as the sector develops. They further highlighted the need to map the value chain, understand the financing requirements and risk exposures at each stage, and structure Namibia’s existing pools of capital to support commercially viable opportunities. The programme featured insights from the former Minister of Mines and Energy, Hon. 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). A panel discussion moderated by Mr Elia Paavo, Deputy Director: Off-site Analysis at the Bank of Namibia, brought together Mr Carlo McLeod, Presidential Special Advisor and Deputy Head of the Upstream Petroleum Unit in the Presidency (@NamPresidency); Ms Baronice Hans, former Managing Director of Bank Windhoek (@BankWindhoek); Mr Eduardo Rodriguez, Country Chair of Shell Namibia (@Shell) and Chairperson of the Namibian Petroleum Operators Association; and Ms Taimi Itembu, Co-Founder and Executive Director of Zephyr Marine Services.
