Botswana's growth has been fueled by continued increases in diamond production; and real diamond output is projected to level off, and then decline sharply after about 15 years. Diversification of the economy will require implementation of substantial structural reforms, in particular the authorities' planned reforms in labor markets, the investment environment, and the role of parastatals.
