(...), I am pleased to welcome you here this evening on the eve of our 23rd Independence Anniversary. May I, express my appreciation to the Governor of Oshana Region and the members of the business community, under the umbrella of the Northern Namibia Chamber of Commerce and Industry for making it possible for to come together this evening. We view the private sector as a critical partner in the social and economic development of our country.  It is for this reason that we continue to put measures in place to create a favourable environment for the business sector to grow and to invest in our economy. This is being done through public investment in physical and communication infrastructure.  Hence, we have constructed roads, bridges and railways to serve as catalysts for trade and commercial activities throughout the country.

It is also being done through other policy measures such as the improvement of business registration procedures, tax relief for businesses, the review of the Foreign Investment Act of 1990, the review of the public tendering regulations and the introduction of a National Industrialization Policy. click here for more...
