Botswana has been named the most attractive investment destination in Africa, according to the latest Africa Investment index for 2016 by Quantum Global’s independent research arm.

The index noted that this was possible as Botswana ranked highly in factors that include current account, improved credit rating, import cover as well as ease of doing business.

Out of the 54 African countries that participated in the survey, Botswana took the first position followed by Morrocco in second spot, with Egypt third while the neighbouring South Africa took  fourth spot followed by Zambia. Other countries that made it in the top ten include Cote d’Ivoire, Algeria, Tanzania, Namibia and Burkina Faso respectively.
