The story

The first exchange in Namibia was founded in Lüderitz (previously known as the Lüderitz Stock Exchange). It opened at the start of the 1900s as a result of the diamond rush, which brought hundreds of prospectors to the desert, who then built settlements in the area. After a few years, the old exchange closed when the diamond rush ended and there were no more business opportunities.
