Botswana unchanged in RMB investor attractiveness rankings

The annual survey covers Africa’s 54 countries and primarily ranks them according to economic activity, looking at market size and growth, as well as business environment. The authoritative report is a key instrument used mainly by investors looking to guide their decisions, but also by policymakers and governments to gauge themselves and their peers. The latest survey, made available outside RMB’s client list for the first time this week, shows that while Botswana’s ranking on the overall list was unchanged from last year, the country topped the list in its attractiveness to mining investors.

RMB researchers ranked Botswana the most attractive destination for mining investors in Africa, basing their findings largely on the Fraser Institute Annual Survey of Mining Companies, which Botswana regularly tops.
