After decades of real GDP growth of less than 1 percent, the Zambian economy
is finally realising some of its vast potential. With new investments and recent
increases in copper prices, mining has regained its prominent role in the economy.
Agriculture, particularly tobacco growing, has also witnessed a boost in production
on the back of an influx of new skills. In tourism, infrastructure improvements
and intensified marketing has also attracted more arrivals.
A real GDP growth 4.6 percent per annum has been forecast for the period from
2004 to 2009. The complete removal of all exchange controls on current and capital
transactions and other market oriented policies being pursued by the Government
of Zambia should increase the prospects of attaining this target.
