ADD ARTICLE DESCRIPTION

The economy of Botswana is currently one of the world's fastest growing economies, averaging about 5% per annum over the past decade. Growth in private sector employment averaged about 10% per annum during the first 30 years of the country's independence. After a period of stagnation at the turn of the 21st century, Botswana's economy registered strong levels of growth, with GDP growth exceeding 6-7% targets. Botswana has been praised by the African Development Bank for sustaining one of the world's longest economic booms. Economic growth since the late 1960s has been on par with some of Asia's largest economies. The government has consistently maintained budget surpluses and has extensive foreign-exchange reserves.

Kitty [74]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf D. \ Build \ the \ nation's \ gold \ and \ silver \ reserves \ by \ exporting \ more \ goods \ than \ it \ imported}}$

Explanation:

Mercantilism is an economic policy that thrived beginning in the 1500s. It was one of the driving forces behind colonization and imperialism.

A country wanted to gain as much wealth as possible. One way to accomplish this goal was to implant a favorable balance of trade. This meant the country exported more goods (sold) than it imported (bought). Essentially, the wealth flowing into the nation was greater than the money leaving.

The countries needed a way to create this balance. So, they began to colonize. Colonies were incredibly valuable because they had natural resources. The mother country extracted the resources from the colony, produced goods in the country, and then sold them back to the colony. This practice maximized their wealth, gold, silver, and power.

The best answer choice must be D. Build the nation's gold and silver reserves by exporting more goods than it imported.
