The -e book in segment one investigates the connection among public infrastructure funding and financial
sustainability in Namibia. More especially,
sought to set up whether, or now no longer, there exists a causal courting among public infrastructure funding and financial
sustainability signs like finances deficit and public debt and boom. It makes use of signs of financial sustainability to highlight
the capacity of the Namibian
public quarter to fulfill its economic obligations. As nicely
as, decide the course of causality and set up in the event that they have any long-run courting with public infrastructure funding. The look employs
a mixture of three dynamic
estimation fashions for sturdy estimates co-integration
regression derived from empirical proof
for a duration of 25 years from
1994- 2019. There is proof of a
causal courting among public infrastructure funding and financial sustainability signs
(Budget Balance, Public Debt and Growth). In addition, the look at determined that public infrastructure funding (PII) had a tremendous
unidirectional wonderful long term courting with GDP boom
and finances balance. While, overall public debt had a
bidirectional terrible courting with PII within the long term. The look at
found out a quick run unidirectional wonderful courting among
public infrastructure and overall
public debt. As nicely as, a terrible quick run courting
with finances balance. The look at installed the lifestyles
of causality relationships, in addition
to their magnitudes and course.
Thus, recommends the want to attention on modelling thresholds on the way to manual selection
making for developmental finance making
plans and aid mobilization
in sustainable manner. This e book
explored the long-time period courting among FDI, GDP and host United states of America employment through way of means of the use of quarter-smart panel
records from 1991 to 2017 in
Namibia. The look at implemented unit root trying out and Co-integration take a
look at to check for the
presence of co-integration courting
among the variables.
In addition, a vector auto regression version quick run causality some
of the variables had been
examined. In the end, Impulse reaction
capabilities are estimated. The studies determined each a quick time period and long-time
period causality going from FDI influx
to employment. Impulse responses display
that each GDP and employment reply undoubtedly
to an exogenous surprise in FDI influx. However, the employment reaction to FDI influx surprise is smaller than that of GDP reaction.
The discourse
additionally concludes that FDI has no causal consequences on monetary
boom in Namibia. It matters that, monetary boom isn't always contributed through means of the FDI notably the consequences on this
studies have a few very vital coverage
implications. Therefore, because the
consequences recommend that the FDI influx has a wonderful effect on
employment, in view of the consequences,
the researcher additionally
recommends that the Namibia pursue the coverage
of attracting overseas companies aggressively and create all of the situations required for attracting overseas direct funding
for you to create similarly employment opportunities.
With the aid of resource from Development Partners in view that independence, Namibia
contributed notably to the United states of America's monetary boom charge and improvement. The reclassification of
Namibia in 2009 to upper-middle-profits
United states of America (UMIC)
from the middle-profits United States of America (MIC) creates
the assumptions that the United States
of America has much less want for resource. This has ended
in plethoric Development Partners ultimate their offices, lowering
aid, or converting the mode of cooperation in Namibia. Despite the
reclassification to UMIC and fundamental
stride in view that
independence,
Namibia continues to be confronted with extreme many improvement demanding
situations that want
utmost attention. The principal goal of this book is to evaluate the quantity of Germany's improvement aid to Namibia all through
the UMIC era. The precise targets consist of the subsequent
to examine Germany's reaction in its ODA with the alternate of reputation of Namibia to UMIC and to evaluate the profundity
to which the allocation of Germany's ODA is aligned with United States of America priorities as
articulated within the National Development Plans (NDPs 3&4) The ten years 2007-2017 duration recognized because the
high-quality duration to examine this look at
primarily based totally at the reclassification in 2009 and
the NDPs, that is four- twelve months plans of the
Government.
Before the
reclassification 2007 to 2009 and after, the baseline may be the foundation to examine
if the Development Partners, inclusive
of Germany, lessen or growth their ODA to Namibia. The courting among Germany and Namibia has now no longer modified
notably in view that Namibia's reputation
from MIC to UMIC. The look at'
findings consist of that the alternate in reputation of Namibia to UMIC has now no longer stimulated
Germany's ODA to Namibia. The ongoing German ODA to Namibia turned into primarily based totally on annual negotiations specializing in signing agreements for
precise initiatives and programs. The look determined tremendous
self-assurance in Namibia's capacity to reap its National Development Agenda as articulated in its
priorities as UMIC.
“Namibian
Government debt growth charge reasons grave implications”. These had been sentiments quoted from the Namibian Finance Minister’s affirmation that the authorities debt has grown through way of means of over 45% within the remaining years can also
additionally motive monetary traces to the United States
of America. Consequently, the Namibian financial coverage
that the country has embarked
on, authorities’ expenditure has
been developing quicker than authority’s sales.
The motive of this look at turned into to decide
the Namibian angle on sovereign
debt sustainability. The aid goal turned into to evaluate
the sustainability of sovereign debt of Namibia. The look at followed a
quantitative descriptive technique
in analyzing sovereign debt sustainability. The technique for evaluation
had been using number one
and secondary records,
Co-integration takes
a look at methods, Dickey Fuller Unit root take a look at, Granger Causality Test and Correlation take a look at. The findings from literature evaluation indicates that Namibia has been encountering a developing degree country debt
especially the neighborhood component. The findings exhibit that the sovereign debt of
Namibia isn't always
sustainable. This discourse sought to
set up a courting among debt and monetary boom and
the consequences indicates that the corrections are -0.
which stipulates that there may be
a terrible correlation among debt and monetary boom. The
p values of -0.3 are much less than the appropriate variety of 0.05. The secondary records consequences
display that the speculation ought to be rejected, which states that there may be a courting
among monetary boom and
debt and take delivery of the speculation which asserts that there may be no correlation among monetary boom and authorities’ debt. Policy hints for the Namibian authorities ought to be to lessen
the general public debt to GDP ratio to offshoot GDP boom and set up preferred monetary situations
to make sure enough employment of things of production. It is usually recommended that the authorities ought to growth the
sales era measures.
The resoluteness of
this discourse was to examine the impact of FDI stock on stock
market growth. However, there are other relevant objectives to the
research paper: To examine if there exists a relationship between FDI and stock market growth in Namibia. This paper also investigated the causal relationship between FDI
and stock market growth in Namibia. To
conjecture possible policy recommendation based on the outcomes of the study.
This
paper also investigated the
causal relationship between FDI and stock market growth in Namibia. The
methodology used for calculating the impact of FDI on stock
markets were correlation and regression, Correlogram Test, Unit Root Test, Scatter Plots -Correlation coefficient
test and Mean plot of portfolio investment.
The significant findings were that there is a strong
positive correlation between the GDP growth rate
and the stock market. The results of this
research are in line with the findings of other studies by the IMF and the
World Bank (IMF, 2017; World Bank, 2018). It is
recommended that investment promotion
agencies (IPA) aim to increase inward flows of FDI. Increased FDI may bring
commercial benefits by directly furnishing employment or improving the
generation of local corporates). IPAs may fund image building activities such
as advertisements, public relations etc.;
do portfolio generation by recognising and motivating potential investors;
furnish investor servicing/facilitation to assist investors to find enterprise
opportunities or circumscribe bureaucracy, or motivate in policy advocacy –
such as lobbying the state.
The Bank of Namibia decided to increase the repo rate to
contain the high growth in household credit. However, the Bank also reported
that after the upsurge, the borrowing trend kept on increasing. Despite the
increase in interest rate to discourage borrowing, household debt kept on
multiplying. An insurmountable cause of this problem is that another factor (e.g.
Socioeconomic, demographic and psychological) have been overlooked. It is therefore the
purpose of this research to analyze the determinants triggering household
indebtedness trend in Namibia. This research is quantitative approach which
tests scientific theories by scrutinizing
the correlation among numbered data variables employing statistical techniques or other means of quantification, to draw sweeping enunciations about the constructs. The
key finding is that the car loans, mortgages, credit cards and student loans
constitute most of 95% of Namibia household indebtedness. The socio-economic
ambits within gender, race, marital status, employment status, household
income, age, education, household assets, credit attitudes and perception of
future income Student loans are the supercharge debt growth industry growing
from a little more than 3% of household debt in 2003 to almost 11% debt in
2016.
It is recommended that best practices pinpointed by stakeholders and through
supplementary research’s frame of reference on this discourse encapsulate Financial education;
Resource/income sufficiency; Responsible lending; Good best practice guidance for lenders/creditors; Early
involvement of creditors/lenders; Debt
advice; Preclusion evictions; Out-of-court tactics for debt settlement; Collective debt
settlement; Legal methods for the
discharge of debts; Responsible debt collection and seclusion of financial exclusion.
