Overview
Botswana's gdp ppp stood at $52.7B in 2025, a rise of +$870.5M from 2024. The IMF projects $52.7B by 2025. Botswana ranked 128th globally.
Botswana’s gross domestic product measured at purchasing power parity rose from an all‑time trough of 1,935,000,000.00 in 1980 to an all‑time peak of 52,650,000,000.00 in 2025, positioning the country at rank 128 globally. Over the 46‑year span the economy expanded by more than 2,600 percent, reflecting sustained diversification beyond diamond mining into services and manufacturing. The 2025 figure of 52,650,000,000.00 places Botswana marginally below North Macedonia’s 53,409,000,000.00 and Trinidad and Tobago’s 51,513,000,000.00, while remaining ahead of Papua New Guinea’s 48,164,000,000.00, underscoring its relative resilience among small and medium‑sized economies. Continued investment in infrastructure, human capital, and non‑mineral sectors will be crucial to maintain this upward trajectory, as any slowdown in global commodity demand or fiscal discipline could alter the growth path.
