Summary:1. Sound macroeconomic policies and high mineral prices have supported Namibia's solid growth performance in recent years, broadly in line with the rest of the region. Terms of trade gains and higher Southern African Customs Union (SACU) transfers have also led to a substantial external account surplus and an improved fiscal position. However, the capital-intensive mineral sector and limited opportunity in the non mining sector have left unemployment high (over 30 percent), and income inequality among the highest in the world. A high, though declining, HIV/AIDS rate and low school enrollment continue to undermine productive capacity (Figure 1).
