Namibia has capital to fund oil industry, but reforms needed to unlock local participation

Namibia has sufficient domestic capital to finance meaningful participation in its emerging oil and gas industry, but structural bottlenecks, slow decision-making and weak investment mechanisms risk limiting local ownership, according to Cirrus Capital Director Roland Brown.

Speaking at the Bank of Namibia's seminar on preparing the financial sector for a sustainable oil and gas economy, Brown said the country has an estimated N$350 billion in domestic savings and a banking sector with about N$195 billion in assets, providing a strong financial base for local investment.

However, he warned that the biggest challenge is not access to capital, but the lack of structures capable of connecting available funding with investment opportunities in the oil and gas value chain.

"So, the implication of this, I think, is that there is capital in Namibia. There are the commercial banks, obviously they have capital, as well as pension funds, insurers, asset managers, and private savings. In addition to all the contractual money, there is also private capital from high-net-worth individuals and individual savings, which may be willing to participate in this oil and gas space. I would go as far as arguing that capital is probably not the single biggest constraint for owning significant portions of the value chain," Brown said.

A central question for Namibia is not only whether capital will be available for the oil and gas sector, but whether it can be structured in a way that enables credible local businesses to participate.

At the upcoming Bank of Namibia Oil and Gas Seminar, Mr Rowland Brown, Director of Cirrus Capital, will present on innovative and routine funding options for local content, focusing on structures for intermediating capital into the sector.

His presentation will explore the financing gap facing local suppliers and service providers, the role of banks and other capital providers in bridging that gap, and the kinds of funding structures that may be required to support participation in a sector characterised by high entry costs, long project timelines and demanding commercial requirements.

The Seminar is scheduled to take place on Tuesday, 04 August 2026, at 09:00 under the theme, “Positioning Namibia’s Financial Sector for a Sustainable Oil and Gas Economy” and will be streamed live on the Bank of Namibia Facebook, YouTube, Instagram and X platforms.

NAMIBIA COULD BE A TOP 10 COUNTRY ON A PER-CAPITA GDP BASIS WITHIN A GENERATION.

Those were the words of , UK author, investor, and writer of The Flying Frisby, who joined us at the 2026 Cirrus Investor Conference after spending two weeks travelling Namibia.

The ingredients are all here: strategic location, natural resources, a small population, and decision-makers you can fit around a single dinner table, which is exactly what the Cirrus Investor Conference is about. What happens next is entirely in our hands.
