Botswana

Botswana, located in Southern Africa, is identified internationally by the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code BW and the alpha-3 code BWA. The country's primary telecommunications identifier is the calling code +267, used when placing international calls to landlines and mobile numbers within Botswana. For web presence, Botswana utilizes the country-code top-level domain (ccTLD) `.bw` for domain registration, which is essential for local businesses and organizations establishing a local online identity. The official currency is the Botswana Pula (BWP), a critical element for financial transactions, cross-border trade, and economic reporting in the region. These codes are vital for global commerce, communication, and ensuring accurate data localization in business contexts.
