Business confidence high in 2010-Poll

In a summary report of the Business Expectations Survey(BES) conducted by the Bank of Botswana between September and November 2009 business confidence went up to 47 percent  and this will be maintained in the first half of 2010.

"There appears to have been a significant upturn in overall business confidence although it is still relatively low. The satisfaction with current business conditions has risen to 47 percent, and this is maintained for the first half of 2010. For 2010 as a whole, confidence rises to 59 percent. This suggests that businesses are now more confident in both domestic and international economic conditions," reads the survey.
