Namibia gained independence in 1990, inheriting an economy with a limited industrial foundation and a strong reliance on the production and export of primary commodities such as meat, fish, and minerals. To address this structural imbalance, the government committed to an economic diversification strategy aimed at creating dynamic industrial and service sectors through increased manufacturing activities, promotion of value addition to locally produced raw materials, and modernization of the financial and information technology sectors. To encourage foreign direct investment, Namibia enacted free-market liberal policies such as the Foreign Investment Act and Export Processing Zone, as well as providing favorable incentives to exporters and manufacturers.
