Moody's gives Botswana sparkling scorecard

Moody’s affirmed the country’s sovereign credit ratings at A2, according to a statement released last week after a biannual review conducted recently. The A2 rating is the highest in Africa, meaning Botswana is the continent’s best borrower and technically one of the best countries to raise international capital from.

According to Moody’s, while there were several areas of concern, the local economy’s outlook continued to support the continent’s highest credit rating.
