Governor's foreword

The Bank of Namibia remains guided by a clear purpose; to safeguard price and financial stability, while ensuring that the institution is aligned to the demands of a rapidly evolving economy. This requires continuity in what works, combined with a deliberate focus on strengthening areas that will define the future of central banking. My vision as Governor is anchored in marching with a clear purpose, while aligning the central bank for the new economy. This reflects a deliberate approach of continuity with purpose; preserving the strength and credibility of the Bank, while ensuring that we are prepared for the structural shifts shaping the future of our economy.

In this regard, the Bank is advancing three key focus areas. These include aligning policy and operational frameworks to the realities of a new economy, building forward-looking institutional capacity, and strengthening the Bank’s role as a knowledge institution through data, research and effective communication.
