Private equity - Botswana's latest engine of growth

Funding from government, lending institutions, Foreign Direct Investment and the stock exchange has historically driven economic development in Botswana. However, all these sources of funding have their limitations and their susceptibilities to a variety of conditions and factors.

Private equity and venture capital are fast emerging as the premium drivers of Botswana's economy. Fund managers such as Venture Partners Botswana, are utilising their expertise to strategically invest capital into the growth of the private sector, at the same time driving economic diversification and employment creation.
