The Economic Crisis and the Commonwealth

Monetary Policy, Governance and Economic Development

Social problems cast a long shadow over its long and impressive economic record: about 30 per cent of the population lives in absolute poverty, unemployment rates remain very high at around 25 per cent of the labour force, and HIV/AIDS rates continue to be one of the highest in the world (OECD/AfDB 2006). Meanwhile, the rate of growth has declined to around five per cent for the past five years (2001-06) and diversification of the economy remains an elusive goal. Botswana finds itself still overly dependent on mining-which accounts for about 40 per cent of GDP and over 75 per cent of total export earnings-while revenues from the mineral sector have reached a plateau. These economic and social issues, unless successfully addressed, will erode decades of overall progress in the development of Botswana. Exacerbating these problems is a monetary policy that is viewed by many stakeholders as having failed to be a positive force in the nation's development. The purpose of this paper is to share lessons learned from the Botswana experience on monetary policy, governance and economic development, and to offer policy and programme recommendations that are relevant not only to Botswana but also to other developing countries. To move towards this outcome, the objectives of monetary policy are first outlined, especially the relationship between monetary policy, inflation and

To keep abreast of worldwide developments and stay ahead of the competition, enterprise leaders must take an expanded view of global business built on six cornerstones: the union of mission, policy, and strategy; attention to culture; a combination of technology, innovation, and creativity; the development of human capital; motivational leadership; and consideration of the overarching business environment.
