The assessments involve meetings with key stakeholders such as the Finance and Economic Development ministry, Bank of Botswana and critical economic actors such as Debswana, which owns Jwaneng Mine amongst other assets.

On Wednesday, Debswana said the Standard and Poor’s delegation comprised Samira Mensah (Director - Financial Services & Sovereign/IPFS&P Global Ratings), Tatonga Gardner Rusike (Associate Director- Sovereign Ratings - S&P Global Ratings) and Mohumi Keneilwe Seokamo (Senior Financial Stability Analyst at Bank of Botswana).
