NaxaliteMaoist insurgency. Terror activities involve either Indian or

10. NAMBIA CURRENCY
The dollar (currency code NAD) has been the currency of
Namibia since 1993. It is normally abbreviated with the dollar
sign $, or alternatively N$ to distinguish it from other dollar-
denominated currencies. It is divided into 100 cents.
NAD - Namibian Dollar *
Region: Africa
Sub-Unit: 1 N$ = 100 cents
Currency(India)
The Indian Rupee exchange rate for October, 2012 averaged 52.96 INR to
USD. That's 138.5 basis points lower than the September, 2012 rate of
54.35, and 376 basis points higher than the October, 2011 rate of 49.20.
The fall in the INR/USD exchange rate from September to October provides
evidence that the short term trend in INR/USD is down. In other words, a
weakening of the US Dollar against the Indian Rupee in the short term. If
that trend continues in the currency market, we should see an average
daily rate in November, 2012 that is close to 51.58.
