Botswana flag Botswana

The Botswana Pula (BWP) is the official currency of Botswana, issued by the Bank of Botswana. Introduced in 1976, it replaced the South African Rand when Botswana gained monetary independence. The Pula, meaning "rain" in Setswana (symbolizing prosperity), is one of Africa’s strongest and most stable currencies. Botswana’s economy is largely supported by diamond mining, tourism, and agriculture, with the Pula playing a critical role in its financial system.
