Based on the article, what potential is there for Namibia's economy to improve by engaging in oil exports?

Economic Potential and Development Outlook 5. Namibia's economy is historically reliant on mining and agriculture. With a population of under 3 million and a GDP of approximately USD 15 billion, the prospect of large-scale oil exports introduces a new revenue stream.
