Since independence, Botswana has quickly transformed from one of the poorest nations worldwide to a modern, upper middle-income nation. From 1966 to 2014, Botswana’s average GDP per capita growth was 5.9% – one of the most rapid growth rates in the world during the period. The main driving force behind this growth has been the abundant, high-quality diamonds within its borders, and have been managed well with high governance standards, a stable political environment, and a healthy investment environment.
