Namibia

Namibia is a resource-rich, upper-middle-income country with one of Africa's highest GDP per capita levels. The economy is driven by mining (uranium, diamonds, zinc, gold), fishing, tourism, and agriculture. Namibia is the world's third-largest uranium producer.

The country is positioning itself as a global leader in green hydrogen, with the Hyphen Hydrogen Energy project (a $10 billion investment) planned for the Tsau Khaeb National Park. The Walvis Bay port is a key logistics hub for Southern African trade. Namibia benefits from its membership in SACU (common customs area with South Africa, Botswana, Lesotho, and Eswatini) and has the Namibian dollar pegged at par to the South African rand.

Namibia's New Equitable Economic Empowerment Framework (NEEEF) aims to promote economic inclusion. Challenges include high inequality (one of the world's highest Gini coefficients), unemployment above 33%, and a small domestic market.
