Economic Challenges Persist in Botswana, Econsult Reports
Botswana’s economy remains in recession, according to the latest Econsult Economic Review for the third quarter of 2025 (July–September). Economist Keith Jefferis, who compiled the report, highlights ongoing difficulties.
Balancing Promises and Reality
The report suggests that the governing Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC) faces a tough balancing act. The administration is reportedly grappling with reconciling its social policy commitments with current economic conditions.
Report Findings
Econsult’s review indicates that the UDC government is challenged in developing policies that effectively navigate both political pledges and economic realities. This contributes to the prolonged economic downturn currently experienced in Botswana.
