Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>Bank Windhoek\u2019s executive officer of retail banking services and specialist finance James Chapman said the BRICS alliance nations have shown remarkable resilience in facing challenges, adapting and prospering in an ever-changing world.<\/p>\n

Similarly, he said, Bank Windhoek has weathered several economic storms in its more than 40-year history as the only 100% Namibian-owned Bank.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have almost seen the perfect storm in recent years \u2013 stagflation, a liquidity crunch, severe droughts and a global pandemic \u2013 we do, however, believe we have emerged more robust each time,\u201d he said, highlighting the bedrock of the Bank\u2019s resilience, is its customer\u2019s trust and loyalty, which it highly values.<\/p>\n

Chapman spoke at a stakeholder engagement breakfast for key customers in Windhoek on Friday, 20 October 2023.<\/p>\n

The event\u2019s objective brought together the Bank\u2019s valued customers to discuss a topic of great significance in today\u2019s global economic landscape: BRICS, an acronym for Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe heart of the BRICS partnership lies in resilience and collaboration,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Chapman added that building relationships makes the Bank tick \u2013 and that through stakeholder engagements, such as these, it is Bank Windhoek\u2019s ambition to reinforce being Connectors of Positive Change, to collaborate and partner with customers to understand and add value to their business.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe take this role seriously and continuously invest in our people, the organisation and the communities we operate because we are an integral part of Namibia and its economic landscape,\u201d he alluded.<\/p>\n

Hosted by Bank Windhoek, the event\u2019s speakers included Salomo Hei, an experienced managing director of a research outfit named High Economic Intelligence, with a demonstrated history of working in the research industry with a strong focus on economics and investments.<\/p>\n

Hei is currently the Namibia Statistics Agency chairperson.<\/p>\n

With a wealth of experience in economics and investments, Hei spoke more about the BRICS countries and what it could mean for businesses in Namibia.<\/p>\n

Hei provided an overview of the BRICS history and compared it to the G7, the Namibian economy regarding exploration opportunities, since Namibia has a vast area of commodities that it can offer to BRICS.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe term was initially created as BRIC, without South Africa, by Goldman Sachs economist Jim O\u2019Neill in 2001. He believed that by 2050, the four BRIC economies would dominate the global economy. In 2010, South Africa joined,\u201d said Hei.<\/p>\n

Hei also recommended strategies to encourage trade facilitation, streamline customs procedures and guarantee product quality and safety to realise these benefits fully.<\/p>\n

He told the audience and the Bank, who appreciated his presentation that it is not about choosing between G7 and BRICS but optimising the available opportunities.<\/p>\n

The Bank\u2019s executive officer of marketing and corporate communication services, Jacquiline Pack, thanked the customers for being the cornerstone of Bank Windhoek\u2019s success.<\/p>\n

\u201cTogether, we will continue to prosper, innovate and create a future that is not only financially rewarding but also sustainable and inclusive for all,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
