Résumé

Malgré la réussite économique du Botswana, il compte parmi les pays d’Afrique australe très affectés par le blanchiment d’argent et les flux financiers illicites. Le Botswana a été considéré comme un conduit mondial des activités économiques illicites. Des flux financiers illicites d'environ 1,1 et 1,2 milliard de dollars américains ont respectivement été enregistrés en 2004 et 2013. Cependant, la littérature sur les flux financiers illicites au Botswana, qui prenne en compte les institutions, transactions et marchés singuliers au Botswana est rare. Cet article contribue donc à cette littérature en utilisant l'analyse de documents et une approche institutionnelle de l’étude des flux financiers au Botswana. Les résultats montrent qu'au fil des années, des efforts considérables ont été déployés pour lutter contre le blanchiment d'argent et les délits connexes. Cependant, certaines lacunes subsistent. Il est essentiel que les institutions financières procèdent à des exercices de correction dans leurs données-client afin d’avoir des profils utiles à leurs besoins de gestion des risques. En outre, la coopération et la coordination entre institutions devraient être renforcées et encouragées dans la lutte contre les flux de capitaux illicites et le blanchiment d'argent.
