Botswana has been open to foreign direct investment (FDI) since independence. This path – not often taken by others – produced results unmatched by any economy of similar size and level of development. Thanks to its success, for more than a decade Botswana has not had to depend on external capital inflows. But FDI is still needed for the other components that investment brings: technology, skills and access to export markets. The challenge is to enhance the contributions of FDI with complementary policies to build local capabilities and develop domestic enterprise.
