Otjiwarongo, 14 August – In a groundbreaking effort to promote transparency and engage with the younger generation, Johannes !Gawaxab, the Governor of the Bank of Namibia, is set to participate in an interactive dialogue with students from various tertiary institutions in the Oshana Region on August 16, 2023. This event, scheduled to commence at 15:00, will be hosted at the Oshakati UNAM campus.

This initiative welcomes students, faculty members, and the general public to tune in, witness the event, and actively engage by submitting their questions and comments online. This effort demonstrates the commitment of the central bank to fostering informed discussions and promoting financial literacy among the youth.- Namibia Daily News
