LS Ipangelwa: Does the banking industry play a developmental role in Namibia? Address by Mr LS Ipangelwa, Deputy Governor of the Bank of Namibia, to the Namibian Economic Society, held in Windhoek, 13 March 2001. *  *  *  Mr Chairman, Members of the Panel, Ladies and Gentlemen, I’m delighted to take part in this well-directed and well-timed discussion.
As a central banker I am glad to see so much attention being paid to this important topic - “Does the Banking Industry Play a Developmental Role?” I compliment the Namibian Economic Society in choosing this coveted theme as a topic for discussion. Central bankers are often tipped as conservative in their approach.
