Board of Directors
The DBN Board, which is established according to the provisions of the DBN Act, consists of seven directors, of which three are appointed by the Minister of Finance; the Government of the Republic of Namibia being the present sole shareholder in the Bank.
The cornerstone of DBN’s governance framework is its Board Rules. The principles put forward in the Rules are put into practice by Management and by the various Sub-Committees of the Board, namely the Audit, Risk and Compliance; the Credit and Investment; Human Capital and Remuneration; and the Special Development Fund Committees. |
