The Namibia Financial Institutions Supervisory Authority (NAMFISA) has received the Outstanding Regulatory Excellence Award at the 10th Anniversary Leaders Without Borders Annual Business Summit & International Honours 2025, recognising its contribution to financial stability, transparency, and consumer protection in Namibia’s non-banking financial sector.
The Authority was commended for its role in promoting strong governance, advancing financial inclusion, and supporting sustainable economic growth through innovative regulatory practices.
NAMFISA Chief Executive Officer Kenneth S. Matomola said the recognition reflects the organisation’s ongoing commitment to excellence and its contribution to strengthening confidence in Namibia’s financial system.
“NAMFISA is honoured to receive this recognition. The award reflects the dedication of our entire team in safeguarding Namibia’s non-banking financial sector, promoting financial inclusion, and building investor confidence,” said Matomola.
He added that the accolade reinforces the Authority’s determination to continue enhancing its supervisory role in support of economic stability and regional cooperation.
“This recognition strengthens our resolve to continue delivering excellence in financial supervision and supporting sustainable economic growth in Namibia and across the region,” said Matomola.
The summit, themed “Eliminating Intra-African Trade Barriers – Strengthening Policy Reforms & Strategic Execution Models for Africa’s Economic Growth,” brought together policymakers, business leaders, entrepreneurs, and investors from across Africa and beyond.
Discussions centred on advancing trade integration, strengthening financial systems, and unlocking investment opportunities across the continent.
Matomola expressed appreciation to the Leaders Without Borders Development Centre for the honour and reaffirmed NAMFISA’s commitment to effective financial supervision and consumer protection within Namibia’s non-banking financial sector.
NAMFISA’s regulatory achievements were also recognised for their broader impact across Africa, where the Authority continues to set benchmarks for accountability, integrity, and regional financial cooperation.
Its work has helped strengthen intra-African financial collaboration and contributed to trade and economic integration efforts.
The event featured keynote addresses, investment pitching sessions, and professional recognitions, including doctorate conferments from the European City University (Paris, France) and fellowship inductions from the Chartered Institute of Management and Leadership (Delaware, USA).
