Botswana is one of the largest producers of diamonds in the world and considered as being part of the world’s fastest growing economies. Besides diamonds, good governance and resilient economic management have contributed to making it an upper-middle economy. Together with the help of the private sector to boost several sectors and investment, Botswana has established transformational reforms with a view to becoming a high-income country by 2036.

Botswana's Economy
For the past 53 years, Botswana’s socio-economic performance has enabled it to be classified as a middle-income country by the World Bank. The government has implemented policies that allow the private sector to play a fundamental role in boosting the economy, encourage free trade and attract foreign direct investment, which has in turn significantly helped in developing the mining sector – a major source of revenue for Botswana. Other sectors such as tourism, retail, and emerging manufacturing have also performed well, with a contribution of the private sector and FDI. The banking sphere and capital markets are relatively stable and effective, with defined rules and procedures that govern the sector.
