Conclusions and recommendations

FDI has been an immensely important factor in Botswana's unprecedented economic transformation over the last 30 years and must surely play an important role in achieving the ambitious growth and diversification objectives of Vision 2016. FDI has always been welcomed and fairly treated, and has benefited from an excellent business climate. Yet, with policy towards FDI entry regressing, the future prospects for FDI are not encouraging. There is no coherent strategy to guide the formulation of wider policy measures to attract and benefit from FDI. And FDI promotion is not being pursued systematically across the board.
