The Central Bank of Botswana held its benchmark interest rate steady at 3.5% during its meeting held on December 4, 2025, following a 160-bps hike in October designed to narrow the gap with commercial lending rates. The decision was aimed to support domestic economic activity in a context of heightened global uncertainty. Policymakers said the economy is expected to operate below full capacity in the short to medium term, limiting demand-driven inflation. While inflation may temporarily exceed the target range and risks remain skewed upward, it is projected to return to the target range over the medium term. The economy of Botswana plunged by 5.3% year-on-year in Q2 2025, extending the downturn into a sixth quarter, hindered by falling diamonds exports. Inflation accelerated for a third month to 3.9% in October but remained within the Bank’s 3%-6% target range. The central bank kept its inflation forecast at 2.7% for 2025 and trimmed its 2026 projection to 5.3%.
