The president, Ian Khama, will remain in power over the outlook period. Internal divisions will continue to destabilise the BDP, especially as the Barataphathi faction, which resists Mr Khama's dominance, has been strengthened by the election. 4b3cc9bfaa446391a9265f4de71038a1Mon, 19 Oct 2009 12:00:00 GBAfrica/Botswanahttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/africa/botswana/botswana_mining_report_q4_2009.htmlExploitation of rich mineral reserves, especially diamonds, has been a significant driver of Botswana's rapid economic growth. Notably, the mining sector of Botswana contributes in double digits to the country's GDP. Diamonds, along with copper and nickel, are the major focus areas in metal and mineral exploration, and earn more than three-quarters of the country's export revenues. b58c37a0a8af3bc468f15a2d221568d5Sat, 10 Oct 2009 12:00:00 GBAfrica/Botswanahttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/africa/botswana/country_report_botswana_september_2009.htmlOutlook for 2009-10 The ruling Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) is expected to win the general election in October 2009 and the president, Ian Khama, will remain in power over the forecast period. Mr? Khama will continue trying to impose his authority on the BDP, but factional rivalries will beset the party both before and after the election.

We are now including a country map, and a range of basic data (selected to be useful for business travellers in particular), in every country report. For most countries, except a few where data is in very short supply, we are also including comparative economic indicators that show each country's position relative to regional peers, in easy-to-read graphical format. e9863a89d5a8906435ec60010337bd60Sat, 01 Aug 2009 12:00:00 GBAfrica/Botswanahttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/africa/botswana/botswana_business_forecast_report_q4_2009.htmlBraced For A Tough Year The global economic downturn has had a harsh impact on Botswana, dependent as it is on global (and particularly US) spending on luxury goods. The collapse in demand for diamonds has weighed on prices, forcing operators to suspend mining operations (although most restarted by Q209), which has fed through to emaciated fiscal revenues. Ordinarily, this would be of extreme concern to the government in an election year, but the US$1. 29d435dd8671bca3c8a2dfe2d93deda7Tue, 07 Jul 2009 12:00:00 GBAfrica/Botswanahttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/africa/botswana/country_report_botswana_june_2009.htmlOutlook for 2009-10 The ruling Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) is expected to win the general election in October 2009 by a comfortable margin, and the president, Ian Khama, will remain in power over the forecast period. The government will continue to pursue largely prudent policies in 2009-10, although countercyclical fiscal policy and falling revenue from diamond sales will push up the budget deficit to 12% in fiscal year 2009/10 (April-March). Consumer price inflation is forecast to average 8% in 2009 and 5. 89cb754e2cc3e381945b3310b8fd13baThu, 18 Jun 2009 12:00:00 GBAfrica/Botswanahttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/africa/botswana/country_report_canada_june_2009.htmlOutlook for 2009-10 The government's budget depends on Liberal support to proceed. We expect the Liberals to withdraw this support at the next budget progress report, due in December, triggering a vote of no confidence and another general election. We expect another election in December or early 2010 to deliver a minority Liberal administration, governing from a centrist policy platform. d2dd40a17275c138acec015e90f776c9Tue, 16 Jun 2009 12:00:00 GBAfrica/Botswanahttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/africa/botswana/country_report_botswana_may_2009.htmlOutlook for 2009-10 The ruling Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) is expected to win the general election in October 2009, and the president, Ian Khama, will remain in power over the forecast period. The Economist Intelligence Unit forecasts that real GDP will contract by 14% in 2009 (January-December), as demand for diamonds slumps, before growth returns at a modest annual rate of 3. 2% in 2010. 75910bb7daa0bb28c5325a716bb958e0Tue, 05 May 2009 12:00:00 GBAfrica/Botswanahttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/africa/botswana/country_report_botswana_april_2009.htmlOutlook for 2009-10 The ruling Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) is expected to win the October 2009 legislative election and the president, Ian Khama, will remain in power over the forecast period.

With global prices having suffered in Q408 on the back of waning global demand, particularly for big ticket luxury consumer purchases, the outlook has turned decidedly negative. Such a slowdown in real economic growth has come at an especially unfortunate time for President Ian Khama Seretse Khama and the Botswana Democratic Party, with both facing the electorate this year. 3d3b7e9cc18d544a5ca5e0dd9bfc15e8Mon, 02 Feb 2009 12:00:00 GBAfrica/Botswanahttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/africa/botswana/country_report_botswana_february_2009.htmlOutlook for 2009-10 The ruling Botswana Democratic Party (BDP), under the president, Ian Khama, will remain in power over the forecast period and is expected to win the October 2009 legislative election, continuing its decades-long period in office.

He is handing over to his ruling Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) deputy Ian Khama, who, given the BDP's ingrained superiority, could rule until 2019. Khama is something of an unknown quantity, and is essentially a military man, so the move is best seen as a way to give him time to establish his presidential credentials. 61138b872feb08b36e6646f85699cadeMon, 12 May 2008 12:00:00 GBAfrica/Botswanahttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/africa/botswana/botswana_mining_report_q1_2008_1.htmlExploitation of rich mineral reserves, especially diamonds, has been a significant driver behind Botswana's rapid economic growth.
