Zambia

  • The outlook for the Zambian economy remains favourable in the medium term, underpinned by good performances and outputs in many sectors and by single figure inflation.
  • The country remains vulnerable to external shocks, including risks from a sluggish global economic recovery.
  • High youth unemployment and slow progress in poverty reduction overshadow any gains made from growth and limited inflation.
