Media Centre
To keep the public reliably informed on matters of concern to the Bank of Botswana, this website includes a selection of latest news items as well as listing upcoming events organised by the Bank or in which the Bank has a significant involvement and/or interest. These can be accessed directly from the home page.
For items which particularly require public attention, the Bank issues press releases, which are published and archived on the website. The Governor also makes speeches and other presentations to both domestic and international audiences and, where appropriate, these are also published on the website.
Public Education
The Bank of Botswana’s Public Education Programme on Banking concerns itself with the mammoth task of having the public appreciate the role and functions of the Bank. Our primary target audience has been students from primary schools to tertiary institutions before extending it to ordinary members of the public during trade fairs. Through a series of booklets and leaflets the programme covers topics such as;
- Proper handling of banknotes
- Security features of banknotes
- Savings
- Inflation
- Barter system
- Business plans
Public education activities are coordinated by the Head of Communications & Information Services Division. For more information please contact:
