Namibia
OECD Development Centre
Namibia’s real gross domestic product (GDP) growth is expected to remain moderate at around 4.7% in 2012, reflecting the strong performance in mining and construction activities and high government spending. The latter has been aimed at cushioning the domestic economy from the severe impact of the global economic downturn and addressing persistently high rates of unemployment, poverty and inequality. The country’s growth prospects for the medium term remain favourable. GDP growth is projected to remain moderate at about 4.2% per annum in 2013/14 due to the deteriorating prospects for the global economy.
