  • An Investigation of the Relationship Between Financial
    AN INVESTIGATION OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN FINANCIAL DEVELOPMENT AND ECONOMIC GROWTH IN NAMIBIA A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE IN ECONOMICS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NAMIBIA BY SYLVIA KINYONDO 200321587 APRIL 2018 SUPERVISOR: PROF. J.P. S. SHEEFENI ABSTRACT The study investigates the relationship between financial development and economic growth in Namibia. It employed an auto-regression distributive lag modelling approach on quarterly data for the period 1995 to 2014. The study used the following variables, namely: ratio of broad money supply to gross domestic product, real gross domestic product (GDP), saving and interest rate. Firstly, the results of the unit root tests showed a combination of integration of order zero and one. Secondly, the results for co-integration revealed the existence of a long-run stable relationship among the variables. Thirdly, the ratio of broad money supply to gross domestic product was found to have a negative and statistical significant relationship with economic activity. This suggests a negative relationship between financial development and economic activity in Namibia. Similarly, real interest rate and saving were also found to have a negative and statistically insignificant relationship with economic activity. On the contrary, the lagged real gross domestic product was found to have a positive and statistically insignificant relationship with economic activity. ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Firstly, I would like to thank the Almighty God for providing me with good health and blessings that were all essential throughout my study period. I would also like to express my sincere gratitude to my supervisor Prof.

  • 2020 Integrated Annual Report 2020 INTEGRATED ANNUAL REPORT 2020 INTEGRATED GROUP at a GLANCE We Are Capricorn
    2020 Integrated Annual Report 2020 INTEGRATED ANNUAL REPORT 2020 INTEGRATED THE CAPRICORN BRAND STORY From the beginning, the stars have filled Africans with wonder. Our ancestors did not just gaze upon their beauty as they stared up at the night sky. They used the constellations of stars for the measurement of time, seasons, cycles, and direction. One such constellation is Capricornus, called by ancient people “the southern gate of the sun”. It is from this constellation that the Tropic of Capricorn got its name many centuries ago, when the sun was in the Capricornus constellation at the time of the southern solstice. All lines of latitude have geographical relevance, but to the people of southern Africa, the Tropic of Capricorn is more. Spanning across the centre of Namibia, it ties together the lands of southern Africa, receiving the brightest rays of the sun on the summer solstice. It signals the time of abundance with flourishing offerings from nature. We took our inspiration from the Tropic of Capricorn, the band that symbolised abundance and created positive change for the people. Creating positive change is what every single member of our organisation strives to achieve every day. To find innovative ways in which to bring together our customers and their aspirations. We passionately believe that by connecting the people of this region to opportunity and prosperity, we can help taking the region closer to GROUP A GLANCE AT realising its greatest self. Our humble beginnings in Windhoek were born out of a tenacious spirit of entrepreneurship. Since then, our journey has led us on a path of achievements, growing us beyond Windhoek and Namibia.

  • The Impact of Mobile Banking on Customer Satisfaction: Commercial Banks of Namibia (Keetmanshoop)

Mobile banking is a new way of banking, as it makes it easier for consumers to access their finances, even from rural/remote areas. For the commercial banks to improve on the current mobile banking services they provide to the consumers they should first find out what the expectations of consumers are and whether they are satisfied with the current services provided by the banks. This study adopted a quantitative design to determine the factors of mobile banking that influences customer satisfaction. Data was collected from a simple random sample of 60 respondents using a self-administered structured questionnaire. Findings uncovered that the majority of the respondents’ were FNB customers, who were/are aged below 25 years and of this respondents’, 57% were female with a high school level of education; they are mostly students with an income of below N$ 5000, whereby they are all registered with mobile banking and were influenced

    ANALYSIS OF THE IMPACT OF MONETARY POLICY ON ECONOMIC GROWTH IN NAMIBIA A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION – FINANCE OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NAMIBIA BY GRACE KASHIMA 9973583 November 2017 Supervisor: DR. R. Kamati (Bank of Namibia) Abstract This study sought to examine the impact of the monetary policy on Namibia’s economic growth within Common Monetary Area. The main objective was to empirically estimate the impact of changes in monetary policy on economic growth in Namibia. This was done by regressing the changes in the repo rate with Gross Domestic Product growth rates, inflation rate and real exchange rate as independent variables. The sample consisted of 64 observations spanning from 2000Q1 to 2016Q4, using secondary data obtained from the Bank of Namibia and the Namibia Statistics Agency. To estimate the impact of the monetary policy, the Ordinary Least Square and Vector Auto Regression methods were used. The study notes that, firstly, the correlation coefficient statistics under the descriptive statistics show a negative correlation between repo rates, growth in GDP and the inflation rate. In addition, changes in the policy rate help to explain the rate of inflation in the long run as shown by the Granger causality test. Secondly, results from simple regressions indicate that an increase in the repo rate and average inflation by 1 percent points per quarter on average, reduce the growth rate. By the same token, VAR impulse response from the economic growth and inflation rate revealed that these variables decline in response to monetary policy shock.

  • The Monetary Sector Objectives
    UNIT 3 THE MONETARY SECTOR OBJECTIVES • Define money and explain the requirements of money • Describe the functions of money • Discuss the functions of a central bank and commercial banks • Describe the money creation process • Explain how the supply of money and the demand for money are determined • Explain the instruments of monetary policy DEFINITION OF MONEY • Money is any generally acceptable or accepted medium of exchange that is accepted in the payment of debts, and/or for goods and services rendered. DEFINITION OF MONEY • Gold and silver were once used as money, but today money consists primarily of paper notes, coins made of various metals and cheque account deposits. • Each country has its own system of money. – In Namibia we use the Namibian dollar, – South Africa uses the rand and – Botswana uses the pula. We call the money in use in a country its currency. BARTER ECONOMIES • Barter is the direct exchange of one good for another without using money as medium of exchange. • If people want to trade, there has to be a double coincidence of wants. • This means there is a need to find a match between what each of the two traders wants to obtain and what each wants to offer in exchange. • Barter system is not efficient and is time consuming process and not suitable for a modern economy where a wide range of goods and services are produced. What is money than? REQUIREMENTS OF MONEY Objects that we can use as money should meet the following requirements: – General acceptability: It should be desired and accepted by all as medium of exchange.
