State Of The Industry Review: Zambia
The substantial improvement in base metal prices, and copper in particular, since the end of 2003 has led to considerable recent optimism amongst Zambia's business community. The country was granted debt relief under the enhanced Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) framework and met its completion point in June 2005. The Government also continues to make progress with privatisation and budgetary reform. The current prospects for both the public and private sectors therefore appear more positive than at any time since the early 1990s.
