WINDHOEK, Sept. 1 (Xinhua) -- Namibia faces tighter U.S. dollar liquidity and higher settlement costs, as the recently imposed 30-percent U.S. tariffs on South African exports weaken the very financial channels it relies on for cross-border trade payments, according to an analysis by Namibian research and investment firm Simonis Storm Securities (SSS).
According to an SSS report released Monday, although Namibia's direct exposure to U.S. markets is relatively small, its reliance on South Africa's financial system magnifies the impact of any fluctuations in those markets.
