Execution, not ambition hinders economic diversification – Gaolathe

Speaking at the World Savings and Retail Banking Institute (WSBI) conference, Gaolathe said that whilst Botswana has long set its bold aspirations for economic transformation, the challenge has consistently been translating those ambitions into practical outcomes.

“For too long our challenge has not been ambition but execution,” he said. “The Botswana Economic Transformation Programme through the Big Fast Results represents our commitment to closing this gap, to prepare not just our people for the future but also the future for our people.”
