About Botswana :
At the time of independence, Botswana was largely rural and heavily dependent on the agricultural sector, with a per capita income estimated at less than US$100 per annum. Shortly thereafter, following the discovery of minerals (especially diamonds) it quickly became the fastest growing economy in the world, with growth rates averaging 13 percent during the 1970s and 1980s.
Diamonds soon began to dominate in terms of contribution to Gross Domestic Product (GDP), government revenue and export revenue. Significantly, high levels of sustained growth did not translate into substantial imbalances in either the fiscal or external arena.
