FNB, Bank of Namibia engage on trade

FNB Namibia held talks with Bank of Namibia governor Ebson Uanguta on Namibia's economic outlook and the financial sector's role in enabling regional growth.

Discussions centred on evidence-based policymaking, economic diversification and translating opportunity into meaningful participation across the economy. The role of the financial sector in enabling high-growth industries, including oil and gas, was also highlighted as a driver of long-term resilience.

Conrad Dempsey, chief executive of FNB Namibia, said Namibia's economic future would depend not only on the opportunities ahead but on how effectively those opportunities were enabled.

The engagement also reinforced the importance of maintaining a financial system that is stable, accessible, innovative and aligned with national development priorities.
