NCCI calls for private sector contribution to economic growth, job creation

The Namibia Chamber of Commerce and Industry (NCCI) says the country’s private sector has a crucial role to play in stimulating economic growth and job creation.

“We acknowledge that the Government alone cannot shoulder the burden of extending development to all. As the premier business support organization in Namibia, NCCI remains committed to advocating for conditions that will enable full participation of the business sector in the economy,” NCCI CEO,Charity Mwiya told a Namibia – USA Business Forum.

She said Namibia still provides excellent opportunities for USA businesses that want to invest and trade.

“The NCCI has committed itself to facilitating business partnerships between USA and Namibian businesses which can take advantage of these trade and investment opportunities.”

She said the Chamber was looking forward to working with investors from the USA to contribute to the industrial development of Namibia.

“We would like to see ourselves creating a strong manufacturing and industrialised economy that will create jobs and enhance the living standards of our people, as well as provide goods and services that can compete well on the global market,” Mwiya said.

A USA delegation is currently in the country as part of the Annual Trade Mission to Namibia and is headed by the Ambassador, Margaret Mensah-Williams.
