Investor interest grows in BETP

The BETP, which represents government’s main push for economic transformation in the next ten years, was approved together with the National Development Plan (NDP12) last year by Parliament.

Presenting the 2026-27 Budget Speech on Monday, Finance Minister, Ndaba Gaolathe, said the strong interest noted thus far had stimulated concrete discussions and commitments for the BETP projects. He said the online portal for the BETP had elevated Botswana’s development agenda onto the regional and global stage, reinforcing government’s strategic shift toward a private sector-led, export-oriented economy.
