"The results of the study indicate that copyright industries make a significant contribution to the national economy of Botswana. In 2016, these industries contributed 5.46 per cent to value added and 2.66 per cent to the total labor force; meanwhile, in foreign trade they contributed 1.28 per cent to exports and 3.47 per cent to imports, yielding a negative trade balance of 1,988.80 million Botswana Pula, as imports exceeded exports by this amount [...] The contribution of the copyright industries in Botswana compares well with that of other countries, especially in Africa, that have undertaken similar studies. They contribute 5.46 per cent to value added compared to 11.1 per cent in the USA, which is the global highest. In Africa, Botswana’s contribution is the highest, followed by Kenya’s at 5.3 per cent. In terms of employment, the highest contribution is 11.1 per cent in the Philippines and the lowest is 1.9 per cent, in Ukraine, while Botswana’s contribution stands at 2.66 per cent. Compared to other African countries, Botswana contributes the least to employment." (Executive summary, page 7)
