The compilation of national accounts statistics in Namibia is undertaken by the Central Bureau of Statistics department at the National Planning Commission Secretariat. Before 1995 and since 1982 the Ministry of Finance compiled the national accounts and published them in the economic review. The Ministry of finance compiled the national accounts according to the 1968 SNA. In 1995 the Central Bureau of Statistics published the national accounts statistics applying the 1993 SNA. These annual estimates are released twice a year in the national accounts publication. The first release is the preliminary estimates which are released in March of each year and the second release is the revised estimates released in August of each year. The latest publication is the national accounts 2000-2007. The national accounts publication is disseminated in hard copies and electronic format posted at the National Planning Commission Secretariat website www.npc.gov.na. Since 2001 the Central Bureau of Statistics has been compiling provisionally quarterly GDP at constant 1995 prices. The provisional quarterly GDP is released with a time lag of 90 days after the reference quarter and is published in the quarterly bulletin of the Bank of Namibia. The quarterly bulletin is available at the Bank of Namibia website www.bon.com.na. The latest national accounts estimates are based on 2004 base year.

The year 1990 was a historic one for United Nations efforts in the area of decolonization as Namibia the last remaining colony in Africa attained its independence on 21 March. That event occurred nearly a quarter century after the General Assembly had acted to change the Territory’s status to bring it under UN administration and a dozen years after the Security Council laid out in resolution 435(1978) a detailed settlement plan for its independence. In his 1990 report on the work of the Organization the Secretary-General said that the Namibian experience was a striking demonstration of the results that could be achieved by multilateral effort by the active engagement of the principal organs of the United Nations and by members of the Security Council and other States undertaking a crucial role in negotiations.
