The opening of the ABN AMRO Bank in Botswana on Thursday signalled the country's ambitious intentions to rival Dubai and Antwerp as a world diamond centre. The bank and its partners have come up with a specific package to finance Botswana's diamond industry. The opening of the bank in Botswana comes less than a week after government went into high gear in its bid to become a leading rough diamond trading centre by inviting a number of international rough dealers - virtually all DTC Sightholders - to apply for a Precious Stones Dealers Licence.
