This QER for the second quarter of 2022 includes a special feature on the main economic challenges that Namibia will face as it seeks to exploit its newly discovered oil resources. This feature briefly summarises the experiences of seven other African oil and gas producing countries – Angola, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Ghana, Mozambique, Nigeria and Uganda – which may hold important lessons for Namibia.
This edition of the QER also briefly reviews economic developments in Namibia between April 1 and June 30 2022.
