Under the Bank of Botswana Act and the Bank’s Bye-Laws, the Board exercises overall authority in running the affairs of the Bank. The Board, consisting of up to nine members, comprises the Governor (ex officio), the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Finance and Development Planning (ex officio) and seven other members in their individual capacity, appointed by the Minister of Finance and Development Planning. These appointed Board members are drawn from across government (up to a maximum of two), academia and the private sector based on their good standing and experience. Their appointment, which can be renewed, is for a period of up to four years. The Board is required to meet at least once every quarter, and more often if required.

The Governor chairs the Board, and Deputy Governors are entitled to attend Board meetings, although they are not members. The work of the Board is supported by two sub-committees, the Audit and Remuneration Committees, chaired by non-executive Board members. Logistical support for the work of the Board is provided by the Board Secretariat, located in the Management Services Department.
