PSG ranks Bank Windhoek best in Namibia

The PSG Banking Review Report provides a detailed time series and financial ratio analysis between Namibia and listed South African, Botswana, and Zambian banks.

According to the report, Bank Windhoek has been rated Best Bank in Namibia for the very first time since the inception of the PSG Bank Review, following its performance in the cost efficiency and credit risk categories with low credit losses, low operating cost growth rates and good asset growth as compared to opex over five years.

The PSG Review on the banking sector started in 2013 and, in its 6th year, has noticed the effects of weak economic growth and severe drought that has impacted the industry.

“We have a unique and proud heritage based on the entrepreneurial foresight and pioneering spirit of our founders embedded in our culture. In as much as we are building a strong and high-performance driven business, we focus on being a responsible corporate citizen by giving back to the communities in which we operate.
