Non-mining sector beat recession - Khama

Khama said the nation would be counting on newly created Hubs in Agriculture, Education, Diamonds, Innovation, Health and Transport for diversification of the economy. He said a general presentation by the Hubs was made to the private sector in the latter part of 2008, while another presentation and update would be made shortly. ' I also expect all the Hubs to engage the private sector on a sector specific basis from time to time. There will be an opportunity for the private sector to invest in the infrastructure development of the Innovation Hub early next year, in keeping with our policy of Public-Private Sector partnership', Khama told the HLCC.
