Namibia Statistics Agency launches nationwide financial inclusion survey

The Namibia Statistics Agency (NSA) has launched a nationwide Financial Inclusion Survey to map how Namibians access and use financial services. Running until 4 November, the survey covers all 14 regions, collecting data on banking, insurance, loans, and savings practices across the country.

Dr. Paula Ingo, Executive for Demographic and Social Statistics and Financial Inclusion Project Manager at the NSA, highlighted the importance of the survey in supporting evidence-based planning and decision-making to enhance financial inclusion for all Namibians.

The results will provide critical insights for policymakers, helping shape strategies to expand access to financial services and ensure that all communities benefit from economic opportunities.
