Summary

A technical assistance (TA) mission was conducted by IMF’s Regional Technical Assistance Center for Southern Africa (AFS) during November 2023 to assist Statistics Botswana (SB) in reviewing and finalizing the questionnaires to be used in the Census of Economic Establishments (CEE), sample design and IT processing system in preparation for the rebasing of the national accounts. The draft CEE questionnaires finalized during the previous mission in March 2023, have been tested. The IT system specifications were reviewed, and several improvements were incorporated. The mission and team commenced development of the data collection and data processing manuals. SB are planning to use the tax list to identify the sample frame for this rebase. The deflator issues raised by the IMF country team were discussed.
