BSE confident amid rising macroeconomic challenges

The Botswana Stock Exchange (BSE), a government-owned market regulator, is projecting strong performance for 2026, buoyed by initiatives aimed at expanding investor participation in domestic capital markets. Building on a solid foundation laid in 2025 and robust early-year results, the BSE anticipates maintaining positive momentum.

Over the course of 2025, from January 1 to December 31, the exchange reported a total market turnover of P9.3 billion across all listed instruments, an 18.1 percent increase year-over-year that signals enhanced liquidity and market depth. Average daily equity turnover surged an impressive 163.7 percent, reaching P24.0 million per day, driven by broad sector participation.
