Why Botswana matters for brokers
Botswana has a stable economy, a well-run financial system and a fast-growing community of retail traders in Gaborone and Francistown, many of them introduced by local educators and IBs.
Securities businesses are regulated by the Non-Bank Financial Institutions Regulatory Authority (NBFIRA) under the Securities Act, and the Bank of Botswana oversees banks and payments. Botswana abolished exchange controls in 1999. Most brokers serving Botswana hold a licence in South Africa, Mauritius or Seychelles, so take local advice on your model.
