Frequently asked questions
Who issues the Namibian Dollar?+
The Namibian Dollar (NAD) is issued by Bank of Namibia. As the monetary authority for Namibia, it sets policy interest rates, manages foreign reserves, and controls the money supply.

Has the Namibian Dollar been debased?+
Every fiat currency loses purchasing power over time as central banks expand the money supply. M2 has grown by approximately 127% over the past decade. Combined with cumulative inflation, this is the gap between NAD as accounting unit and NAD as a store of value.
Is the Namibian Dollar sound money?+
On the Money2069 0–100 sound-money scale, the Namibian Dollar currently scores 74.7. The score weights inflation volatility, 10-year money-supply growth, and 1-year FX stability. Higher = closer to sound. No fiat scores 100 because no fiat has zero issuance.
