Firms more upbeat as economy warms up :: Mmegi Online

Local firms are feeling significantly more optimistic about the trading environment in the third quarter of the year and into the next 12 months, backed by the lifting of the State of Emergency (SOE) and its associated restrictions, BusinessWeek has learnt.

The latest edition of the Bank of Botswana (BoB) biannual Business Expectations Survey released this week, indicates that local firms are more upbeat about economic activity in the third quarter of the year, compared to the second quarter when they were pessimistic. The survey samples businesses across 13 different sectors and gauges their perceptions about the prevailing state of the economy as well as expectations going forward.

The State of Emergency ended on September 30 and the survey, therefore, covers views from when the restrictions were in place to the period after they were lifted.
