NaSIA, in collaboration with our valued member NamibRe, recently hosted the NaSIA FIMA Executive Breakfast Session, bringing together industry leaders, regulators, and financial services professionals to unpack the implementation of the Financial Institutions and Markets Act (FIMA) and its impact on Namibia's non-bank financial sector.
The session featured insightful presentations from legal and regulatory experts Eliaser Nekwaya and Christine Rodrigues, who explored the opportunities and challenges presented by FIMA, including governance, consumer protection, risk-based supervision, and compliance requirements.
An engaging panel discussion with NAMFISA executives - Imanuel Hawanga, Erich L. Gariseb and Hilka Kandali Alberto further provided practical guidance and addressed key questions from industry stakeholders.
As Namibia's financial services landscape continues to evolve, collaborative engagements such as these play a critical role in strengthening industry understanding, promoting regulatory readiness, and supporting innovation across the sector.
A sincere thank you to our sponsor NamibRe, our distinguished speakers, NAMFISA, and all participants who contributed to the success of this event. Together, we are building a more resilient, transparent, and future-ready financial services industry.
