Namibia Financial Sector Strategy 2011-2021

The Namibian Financial Sector Strategy is a long-term development strategy for the Namibian financial sector. It is expected that the strategy will guide the achievement of the financial sector objectives as set out in the various national development plans (NDPs and Vision 2030); through consolidating them; especially those relating to capital and financial markets development, ownership of financial institutions, access to finance, consumer protection and financial literacy. Ultimately the Strategy should contribute to fostering economic growth and poverty alleviation as well as reducing income inequality. Furthermore, the Strategy takes cognisance of on-going regional initiatives with regard to financial sector development, as well as global initiatives in response to global developments such as those witnessed during the recent global financial crisis.
