Summary:

The financial safety net framework in Botswana is incomplete, while crisis preparedness and management structures must be expanded.2 The Bank of Botswana (BoB) lacks an emergency liquidity support mechanism for commercial banks, bank resolution and liquidation remain under the Companies Act, and there is no deposit insurance system. A 2016 TA mission3 on “Banking Sector Safety Net and Crisis Management” identified many deficiencies. To date, there has been limited progress in achieving the recommendations.
