Source More Funding Locally, BIHL Urges Govt

Current fiscal rules limit government debt to 40% of GDP with a 50/50 split between domestic and offshore funding. 

By March 2018, domestic debt amounted to P10.2 billion or about half the fiscal limit, while external debt, by March 2017 was pegged at P16.7 billion. March 2017 marks the last available official data for external debt, which mostly comprises loans from international financiers, particularly the African Development Bank, which lent Botswana $1.5 billion in 2009.
