This week Namibia participated in the Global Investor Forum co-hosted by the Investor Leadership Network and the global asset manager, Ninety One, in Cape Town, South Africa.
The event brought together a large network of asset allocators exploring emerging markets for investment opportunities spanning listed equities to infrastructure across the global south.
The forum has attracted asset allocators ready to invest more than US$20 trillion (about N$362 trillion).
Namibia was represented by Government Institutions Pensions Fund CEO Martin Inkumbi, Helvi Fillipus, the economic adviser to the minister of finance and public enterprises and Green Hydrogen Commissioner James Mnyupe, who highlighted Namibia’s potential as a hub for green industrialisation during the opening session of the forum.
Discussions at the forum included topics of emerging political shifts, asset allocation strategies and the influence of artificial intelligence on company valuations.
These themes aimed to guide investors in deploying capital effectively within emerging markets.
“This platform offered Namibia’s government and investors an invaluable opportunity to align global trends with the country’s developmental aspirations, paving the way for a well-structured investment portfolio to drive growth over the next decade,” Namibia Green Hydrogen Programme spokesperson Jona Musheko said.
