The Namibia Institutional Investment Forum 2022 will be held at the Swakopmund Plaza Hotel, themed, “Harnessing Alternative Investment To Drive Economic Recovery”
With participation capped at 100, the forum brings together senior investment professionals from the Namibia investment funds and asset management industry and some international participants. The program will feature regulators and policymakers whose decision has a direct impact on investment decisions by pension funds, insurance companies, development financial institutions, and other institutional and private investors.
Speaking in an interview, Michael Ndinisa, Chief Executive Officer of MNCapital Group said: “We are really excited about the prospects of hosting the most comprehensive institutional investment forum in Namibia. This Forum has been designed with a deliberate inclination towards the discussion of the formulation of pragmatic solutions, challenges and the alignment of Investment structures, regulations and best practices with current global expectations and competitiveness”.
“These country-specific Institutional Investments programs are designed to create a platform for the discussions of issues affecting institutional investors as well as other key players in the industry such as Fund managers, custodians, Administrators, and every other stakeholder and will look at how to develop ways to overcome the challenges through the employment of factual and time-relevant information and practices as per the global standards and simultaneously matching those in Namibia. Growing investment in Africa’s economic development along an inclusive and green path depends upon the long-term investment of institutional investors in Africa because sustainable investment depends on Africa’s own pension funds investing in Africa’s future,” Mr. Ndinisa further articulated.
Namibia recently registered a record high in investment leads,80% over the usually expected number. These leads mainly focused on the Green Hydrogen aspect, with other lead recordings showing interest in industries such as agriculture and tourism. This shows growth and great potential and opportunity for investment in Namibia, such advancements in investment align well with the United Nations Sustainable Development guidelines, a subject Mr. James Mnyupe the Economic Advisor to the President and Green Hydrogen Commissioner will highlight on the day of the Forum.
