Botswana’s economy is at a critical transition point, requiring immediate fiscal discipline and structural reform. In this episode, development economist Ita Mangela breaks down the hard truths behind the nation's 3-year recession. We explore how the erosion of early governance systems led to Dutch disease, why Total Factor Productivity has plummeted, and the critical failure to ring-fence the Pula Fund. The conversation clarifies what it will take to rebuild a private-sector-driven economy and move away from heavy reliance on mineral revenues. Required listening for policymakers, business leaders, and citizens invested in the future of Botswana’s economic health.
