Main findings
- The current legislative framework guiding bank resolution and financial sector crisis management in Botswana is weak.
- The Bank of Botswana lacks some of the legal powers required for implementing corrective action for banks that:
- are in breach of prudential requirements, or
- are conducting business in an unsound or unsafe manner.
- Key elements for a corrective action framework are lacking, including:
- a contingency plan for dealing with weak banks, and
- guidance on indicative remedial measures based on well-defined triggers.
- Major amendments to the legal framework are needed.
- Authorities have embarked on a revision of the legislative framework.
