PrefaceForeign trade statistics play an important role in Namibia’s economy as it measures values and quantities of goods that, by moving into or out of a country, add or subtract from a nation’s material stock of goods. Foreign trade statistics are essential for the formulation of monetary, fiscal, commercial and regional integration policies. More importantly, in the Southern African Customs Union (SACU), reliable import statistics are crucial when it comes to revenue sharing among member states.

Since Namibia’s independence, government policy has been to develop, promote and diversify the country’s exports. It also helped to expand and consolidate market shares of existing markets and penetrate new markets. One of the goals was to reduce reliance on imports from one or two main trading partners. Prior to independence, trade flow between Namibia and the rest of the world was not independently recorded. Since 1990, positive developments have taken place, both in the particulars recorded and the methods of recording. Computerization of procedures at the Directorate of Customs and Excise in the Ministry of Finance continues to enhance the timely dissemination and analysis of trade statistics through prompt transfer of captured trade data at Customs to the NSA.

This bulletin presents the annual trade statistics for 2014.

1. Introduction

The mandate of the Namibia Statistics Agency is to produce and disseminate relevant, quality and timely

statistics. This includes statistics relating to imports and exports. This report presents a summary of trade

statistics in terms of imports and exports of merchandise during the year 2014.

Foreign trade statistics derived from records of trade flows across international borders are invaluable for

the formulation of commercial, fiscal and monetary policies of any country. The basic information for the

compilation of trade statistics is collected and captured based on import/export declarations made by traders.


2. Key Developments

2.1. Revisions

Revisions to trade data are made once final figures are received Table 1 shows the revisions made to the 2013

data after more complete data became available. Total exports for the year 2013 were revised upward to

N$56.3 billion from the initial estimate of N$54.4 billion, while Total imports was revised upward to N$73.6

billion from N$72.4 billion. Consequently, the deficit declined from N$17.9 billion to N$17.2 billion.

2.2. Trade Balance

Namibia’s trade deficit widened by 52.3 percent to N$26.2 billion in 2014 compared to the revised figure of

last year in which the deficit was at N$17.2 billion. The sharp increase in the deficit is owed to high import

expenditures valued at N$90.6 billion compared to export earnings worth N$64.4 billion.

Expenditure on imports rose by 23.2 percent to N$90.6 billion, up from N$73.5 billion as spending on vehicles,

ships and floating structures and machinery and mechanical appliances increased to N$33.2 billion from

N$19.9 billion a year earlier.

The overall value of exports rose only minimally by 14.3 percent to N$64.4 billion up from N$56.3 billion in the

preceding year. The increase in re-exports of ships and floating structures contributed significantly towards the

increase in exports.

2.3. Exports to Key Markets

Namibia’s Total exports for 2014 was valued at N$64.5 billion of which the bulk valued at N$37.5 billion

was destined to Botswana, South Africa, Switzerland, Korea and Angola. These markets accounted for 58.2

percent of Namibia’s Total exports compared to 58.8 percent a year earlier. Botswana topped Namibia’s export

destination with N$10.7 billion worth of goods exported that country.

Namibia exports to South Africa dropped by 29.9 percent while that of Switzerland rose strongly by 44.3

percent. The commodities which contributed to the strong rise in exports to Switzerland were copper and

ores.

Exports to other countries increased by 3.0 percent to N$44.8 billion from N$41.8 billion recorded in the

previous year.

Chart 2 shows the value of exports to each of these markets.

2.4. Imports from Key Markets

South Africa, Korea, China, Bahamas and Germany were the main suppliers of goods to Namibia in 2014. The

overall value of imports from these countries increased by 7.1 percent to N$37.5 billion when compared to

N$31.1 billion a year ago. These markets accounted for 73.6 percent of Total imports in 2014 compared to

66.5 percent in the previous year.

Imports from Korea increased strongly to N$5.9 billion compared to N$175 million in the previous year, due

to temporal importation of ships, boats and floating structures. On the other hand, increases in the value of

imports were noted from China at 61.3 percent and South Africa at 13.6 percent. In the case of China, the

increase was mainly caused by electrical machinery and equipment; and boilers, machinery and mechanical

appliance.

Imports from other countries outside the top five listed countries decreased by 7.1 percent to N$23.9 billion

compared to N$24.6 billion recorded a year earlier.

Import values of the top five markets are shown in Chart 3 below.

2.5. Top Export Products

Precious stones; ships and floating structure, ores, fish; ships and copper dominated the list of Namibia’s

exports. The overall export value for these commodities increased by 17.2 percent to N$44.0 billion compared

to N$37.6 billion a year ago. These commodities accounted for 68.3 percent of export revenue in 2013

compared to 66.6 percent in the preceding year.

Exports of ships, boats and floating structures rose sharply to N$8.9 billion from N$4.3 million in 2013 due

to the temporary acquisition of floating and submersible drilling platforms in April (2014) from Korea and

re-exported in June (2014). High external demand for copper by Switzerland and South Africa was the cause

for a relatively sharp increase in copper exports by 139.02 percent to N$3.5 billion compared to N$1.5 billion

a year earlier. Diamond continues to dominate the export market with an increase of 11.6 percent mainly to

Botswana, South Africa, Belgium and USA. However, the value of export of fish was constant and is mainly

exported to Spain, South Africa, DRC and Mozambique.
