These regulations emphasize the need for telemarketers to respect consumer privacy and adhere to specific guidelines when operating in Botswana.

Botswana’s economy in 2024 is fueled by key industries that are essential to its growth and overall development.

• Mining and Diamonds: The mining industry, particularly diamond exports, remains a significant contributor to Botswana's GDP and foreign exchange earnings. The country is the world's second-largest diamond exporter, and investments in value-added diamond sectors further strengthen this industry.
• Tourism: Tourism plays a crucial role in generating foreign exchange and creating jobs. Botswana's natural attractions and wildlife reserves, such as the Chobe National Park, draw visitors from around the globe.
• Agriculture and Manufacturing: Although agriculture makes a small contribution to GDP, it plays a crucial role in subsistence farming and cattle raising. Meanwhile, the manufacturing sector, encompassing food processing, diamond processing, and textiles, holds potential for growth but faces issues like outdated technology and a skills deficit.

As Botswana continues to recover from the impact of the pandemic, these industries, along with the growing services sector, are expected to drive the country's economic growth in the coming years.
