Activity in the bond market in the first half of the year declined compared to the same period in 2015 largely due to decreased trading of government bonds. This was despite an increase in the number of listed bonds from 38 to 41 between the two periods.

According to the Botswana Stock Exchange (BSE), the value of bonds traded over the period under review was P59 million in comparison to P664.6 million traded over the same period in 2015.
