Namibia has a population of 2.5 million, but with the completed expansion of the port at Walvis Bay, the country is positioning itself as a gateway to more than 345 million people in the broader Southern Africa market and beyond.  Namibia enjoys one of the most stable and peaceful political environments in Africa.  Primary infrastructure (roads, rail, air, energy, and telecommunications) is relatively well developed and modern.  The economy is mostly export-driven.  Mining, tourism, fishing, and agriculture are Namibia’s key industries.  While the United States is among Namibia’s top ten trading partners, imports into Namibia are dominated by South Africa, which is the source of 45 percent of Namibia’s total imports.  The Namibian dollar (N$) is pegged one-to-one (1:1) to the South African Rand (ZAR).
