Heading north: The BSE is storming to a strong year PIC: MORERI SEJAKGOMO

The Botswana Stock Exchange’s (BSE) flagship platform, the Domestic Companies Index (DCI), is headed for its strongest annual performance in terms of share prices since 2013, powered by heavyweight counters in tourism, banking and finance.
