KPMG International provides no client services and is a Swiss entity with which the independent member firms of the KPMG network are affiliated. 2 | Botswana mining guide Executive summary Since its independence in 1966, Botswana has witnessed good economic growth on the back of fiscal discipline and robust governance. The country has a strong legal framework, low prevalence of civil unrest or disorder and minimal government interference in the mining sector. Botswana also boasts infrastructure that is in better condition than several of its neighbors, which has assisted in boosting interest from international companies in the mining sector. Botswana is one of the world leaders in diamond production, with Russia competing closely. While Russia was the largest diamond producer in the world in terms of production volume in 2012, Botswana produced the most in terms of value, accounting for 23.6 percent of total global diamond production. -
