Business Botswana's take on the 2020-2021 budget

We also affirm that the economic model, which has served us well since the founding of the nation in 1966, needs to change to a private sector driven approach.

It is in that view that we appreciate that the budget seeks to address the economic challenges facing the country during the course of National Development Plan 11 such as macro-economic stability, greater socio economic inclusion and improved quality of public services. These challenges are in turn, to be tackled via four priority areas namely: Promotion of export-led growth, ensuring more efficient government spending and financing, Building Human capital and provision of appropriate infrastructure.
