Botswana: Key economic and social indicators

Botswana became an independent democratic republic in 1966 after 80 years of rule as a British protectorate. The constitution adopted at independence vests legislative power in a parliament comprising the National Assembly (with 40 elected members), the President, a speaker, the attorneygeneral and four members nominated by the Government. The country is democratically ruled and boasts a stable political environment. The Botswana Democratic Party has been a major political force. Botswana is the second largest producer of diamonds (by volume) in the world after Australia, and the largest in terms of output value. Until the 1990s, it was the fastest growing economy in the world.
