Corruption biggest obstacle to doing business, BITC firms report

The BITC’s survey was designed to gauge the investment climate for businesses that it supports, in the interests of increasing domestic investment and export earnings, while also promoting Botswana as a place to live, invest and work.

The survey, conducted amongst BITC-assisted and accredited companies, found that the major challenge mentioned by respondents was corruption perceptions, followed by cost of utilities, inefficient government bureaucracy and cost of inputs.
