BITC Drives BWP 2.49 Billion in FDI for Botswana in 2023/2024 Financial Year. The Botswana Investment and Trade Centre (BITC) has reported significant progress in attracting investment, securing BWP 2.49 billion in foreign direct investment (FDI) during the 2023/2024 financial year.
Since its inception, BITC has facilitated a total of BWP 20.9 billion in FDI across Botswana’s priority sectors. The Centre attributes this success to its targeted investment promotion strategy, which focuses on developing and marketing sector-specific value propositions.
BITC’s approach has involved identifying high-potential sectors and packaging them into structured investment opportunities aimed at both domestic and international investors. This strategy aligns with Botswana’s broader economic goals of diversifying its economy and creating sustainable employment.
The Centre continues to strengthen its efforts by refining its value propositions and ensuring that investment opportunities are aligned with national development priorities. These efforts are complemented by BITC’s investor facilitation services, which support businesses through regulatory processes and help to ease market entry.
The BWP 2.49 billion in FDI secured during the latest financial year reflects growing investor confidence in Botswana’s stable economic environment and strategic positioning within the region.
BITC’s ongoing initiatives are expected to maintain momentum and attract further investment into key areas such as manufacturing, renewable energy, financial services, and agro-processing.
