Abstract
Searching for new ways remains a primary concern among scholars. In this paper the
macroeconomic determinants of commercial banks’ liquidity in Namibia were considered and
analysed. The unit root, bound test for cointegration and error correction model were
employed using quarterly data covering the period 2001 to 2014. The results revealed that
real gross domestic product is the main determinant of commercial banks’ liquidity in
Namibia. It was also found that monetary policy rate is positively related to banks’ liquidity
though statistically insignificant. On the contrary, the results revealed a negative relationship
between inflation and commercial banks’ liquidity.
