World Bank ranks Botswana as a top investment destination

The report hailed Botswana as "a star performer" noting that the country had improved its overall score in the GIPB's criteria to "an excellent 70 percent, which is an almost 140 percent improvement." Botswana is the second most improved country in the three years that the GIPB has been done, trailing only to Croatia.

The GIPB report, a World Bank initiative, is solely focused on the Investment Promotion Intermediaries (IPIs) of each country, as surveys have revealed that more than 65 percent of investors deal with these agencies when assessing their destination options.
