INDUSTRY:
Botswana has one of the healthiest economies in Africa and has one of the world’s highest growth rates. This has been attributed to the fact that Botswana has remained relatively peaceful, due to fiscal discipline and sound management. Following the opening of large diamond, copper and nickel mines, mineral extraction and processing is now the leading source of the country’s income. Botswana is one of the world’s largest producers of diamonds. Domestic and foreign companies are treated equally with no discrimination or obstructions to investment and competition.
