Deputy Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Tao Zhang has called on Botswana to fast-track coming up and swiftly implementing a completely new growth model to transform Botswana’s economy before it is weighed down by increasing external shocks and stagnant domestic growth rate.
Tao Zhang was speaking at a workshop on economic diversification held in conjunction with Bank of Botswana in Kasane this past weekend. Zhang noted that Botswana’s success story from one of the poorest countries in the world before independence to one of the most celebrated rapid economic growth examples today cannot go untold.
The IMF Top Executive however underscored that it is now time to elevate to another level “This has been one of the inspiring transformations in Sub-Saharan Africa, however the need for a new growth model to accelerate Botswana’s convergence and transition to high-income status cannot be over emphasized,” he said.
IMF to Botswana: It’s time for a new growth model
I hate the IMF. I have never seen a bigger group of liars/cheats.
