Botswana ranked fourth worldwide for mineral investment

Australian media research group, Resource Stocks, last week unveiled the 2011 World Risk Survey according to which Botswana upgraded its stellar ranking among the top ten least risky environments for resource sector investment.

The annual survey canvasses the perceptions and opinions of company executives, requiring them to rate all countries' risk profiles across ten categories that include Financial Risk, Sovereign Risk, Green Tape, Land Claims, Red Tape, Infrastructure, Civil Unrest, Natural Disasters and Labour Relations.
