The country has an estimated annualGDP per capita of USD 5293. However, it is worth noting that from 1980-1990 Namibia had aGDP per capita which was higher than that of both China and Thailand. But, over the interveningtime both countries’ rate of economic growth have greatly exceeded Namibia’s and, as a result,Namibia’s GDP per capita ratio is currently much smaller than either of those two countries(National Planning Commission, 2012).Despite this disparity in economic growth rates, the country is slowly emerging from thecompounding
