Botswana: Africa's New Economic Engine and Investment Hotspot

Stable Political Environment and Leading Business Climate

  • Recognized as one of Africa's most stable countries, Botswana consistently ranks among the top three in African transparency indices, boasting a robust legal system and comprehensive foreign investment protection mechanisms.

  • In 2022, Botswana's GDP growth rate was 5.8%. While there was a slight slowdown in 2023, the overall economic stability surpassed that of other African nations.

  • As a member of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), Botswana's strategic location offers access to the broader African market.

World-Leading Mineral Resources and a Comprehensive Diamond Industry Chain

  • In 2013, Botswana established the Diamond Trading Company (DTC) processing center, prompting De Beers to relocate part of its London operations to Botswana. The country has since become one of the world's largest diamond producers, accounting for over 25% of global production. Diamond exports exceed $5 billion, serving as a major pillar of the national economy. Key diamond resources are concentrated in mining areas such as Orapa and Jwaneng, among the richest diamond deposits globally.

  • In 2023, the Botswana government reached a $64 billion diamond sales agreement with De Beers, strengthening the global diamond supply chain.

  • Botswana also possesses abundant reserves of copper, nickel, gold, coal, uranium, palladium, platinum, and cobalt, offering significant exploration and development potential.

This expo is set to bring together global business leaders, government policymakers, and industry experts to discuss investment trends, deepen China-Africa cooperation, implement the "Belt and Road" initiative, and share in the dividends of Africa's economic growth.Strengthened governance and security
