Overall, Botswana has made progress in addressing deficiencies in technical compliance identified in its MER to justify re-rating.

Recommendation 9 is re-rated to Compliant
Recommendations 13, 16, 18, 22, 33 and 34 are re-rated to Largely Compliant.

Due to moderate shortcomings in Recommendations 19, 25, 26 28 and 35 a partially complaint (PC) rating was warranted.

Botswana will remain in enhanced follow-up and will continue to inform ESAAMLG of the progress made in improving and implementing its AML/CFT measures.
