Chief Financial Officers (CFO) in Botswana have adopted defensive strategies as they become increasingly pessimistic about the business environment and their company’s performance.

According to the results of a Deloitte CFO 2014 survey, majority of the 34 CFOs and financial directors that participated in the Botswana survey do not expect a major improvement in operational performance this year and will opt to improve existing operations than expand into new markets and businesses.

Anticipated increased competition as well a projected hike in interest rate is also among the other factors contributing to the drop in confidence.
