Namibian President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah told citizens to leverage national resources when dealing with foreign partners rather than adopt a mindset of scarcity. She addressed business leaders at a public-private forum on Wednesday and said the country possesses minerals, land and a young workforce that provide bargaining power in international talks. The administration plans to create 500,000 positions over five years by reducing regulatory barriers and expanding access to infrastructure.
Nandi-Ndaitwah identified mining, energy production, agriculture and tourism as sectors that will drive economic expansion under the Sixth National Development Plan. The government is revising laws governing petroleum, land use and investment promotion to attract capital. Chamber of Commerce chief Titus Nampala called for clear policy frameworks and thorough research to help businesses contribute to national prosperity goals.
