Analysis by Region - Emerging Markets - Botswana
Description
Botswana's diamond-dependent economy continues to take flak. We've slashed our 2025 real GDP growth forecast deeper into contractionary territory, while a more muted turnaround is predicted for 2026. Still, risks to the outlook remain firmly planted on the downside given the ongoing woes in the global diamond industry. We now forecast real GDP to contract by 3.0% this year before growing by 2.1% in 2026.
