ZDA says the actualized investments were from activities of 567 monitored companies and these had created over 68,000 jobs.

ZDA attributes these investments and job creation to Zambia’s stable inflation and exchange rate and country’s successful debt restructuring programme with its lenders.

Zambia’s economic outlook is projected at between 5 to 6 per cent economic growth, declining inflation at 12 percent from 14 per cent.

Zambia currently enjoys a favourable agricultural season driven by a bumper crop harvest and expanding agribusinesses.
