This 2004 Article IV Consultation highlights that Namibia’s real GDP growth accelerated to an estimated 41⁄4 percent in 2004, after averaging about 3 percent during the preceding five years. Growth benefited from declining interest rates, as the Bank of Namibia took advantage of declining inflation pressures and reduced its key policy rate in several steps from 123⁄4 percent in January 2003 to 71⁄2 percent in July 2004. Executive Directors have welcomed the recent rise in GDP growth, decline in inflation, and strengthening of the external current account surplus.

In 1884 - 85, the European powers and the USA met in Berlin to prepare the division of the entire African continent through an 'international' act of law. The series of pictures by Dierk Schmidt that was shown at documenta XII serves as a starting point in exploring the urgent question: Is it possible to respond to the brutality, with which colonial borders were forced upon existing societies, with a representation that makes legal abstractions tangible as a historic product of political and aesthetic modernism in Europe? The Division of the Earth is based on years of research and tackles, both visually and textually, the aesthetic-political, art historical and current legal facets of the growing international, post-colonial discussion.
