High-Level Summary Technical Assistance Reports

In May 2025, an assessment was undertaken of the data quality of the public sector debt statistics (PSDS) of Botswana against the IMF’s Data Quality Assessment Framework (DQAF) for PSDS. The mission was as part of a project to strengthen the quality of public sector debt statistics in selected African countries, funded by the Government of Japan. The mission reviewed the PSDS compilation and dissemination practices against each element of the DQAF and presented a series of recommendations to further improve the quality and transparency of the PSDS of Botswana.
