According to data from Statistic Botswana, GDP for the year to March 2015 showed a small increase in annual economic growth, to 4.6%. The overall growth increase was driven by the 5.0% growth in the non-mining private. Mining sector continues to face problems and this is evidenced by the downward trajectory, from a recent peak of 23.9% during 2013 to 2.5% during the 4 quarters to March 2015.
