Botswana Export Development and Investment Authority (BEDIA) is confident that despite the global downturn which has dried up liquidity needed for trading, it will reach its targets of netting P60 million in business transactions and increase exhibitors to 250 at this year's Global Expo Botswana (GEB).

Briefing the media on Tuesday, about this year's business to business trade exhibition, BEDIA chief executive officer, Dorcus Makgato-Malesu said she was optimistic about reaching the targets, which include 6,000 visitors as compared to 4,000 visitors who attended last year's fair.

"This is an opportunistic figure (P60 million) especially when the market is a little bit cold, but we believe we can reach our target," she said. This year, Global Expo will be held on 4-7 November and not the last week of October as it has always been since inception in 2006.
