The government of Botswana is poised to engage domestic capital markets once more. The Bank of Botswana is scheduled to auction P3.6 billion in government securities on November 28. This issuance falls under the existing P55 billion Note Programme.
Shifting Fiscal Strategies
This upcoming auction highlights a recurring trend observed throughout the current year. The government appears to be increasingly relying on short-term borrowing instruments. Analysts suggest this approach responds to evolving fiscal conditions and fluctuations in revenue streams.
Understanding the Note Programme
The P55 billion Note Programme provides a framework for the government to raise funds through the issuance of various debt instruments. The upcoming P3.6 billion offering represents a segment of this broader financing strategy, aimed at managing the nation’s financial requirements.
