Zambia has recorded a pickup of net capital inflows mostly in form of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) due to increased investor confidence in the national economy, states the International Monetary Fund (IMF) recent report.<\/p>\n

The IMF World Economic and Financial Survey for Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) economic outlook on recovery and new risks April 2011 report indicates that while some countries have recorded no signs of recovery from the global financial crisis in terms of capital inflows, Zambia has posted notable strides especially in FDI.<\/p>\n

According to the Ministry of Commerce, Trade and Industry, Zambia last year recorded FDI of US$2 billion in mining with equally substantial inflows into manufacturing, wholesale, retail trade and tourism.<\/p>\n

The report attributes the development to increased investor confidence and privatisation-related inflows like in the telecommunication industry where 75 per cent of Government shares in Zamtel were offloaded to the private sector.<\/p>\n

The report states that the economic growth in Zambia has been strong boosted by the rising prices of the main export product, copper, on the international market.<\/p>\n

“Zambia has recorded a modest pickup of net capital inflows, mainly in the form of FDI. This reflects increased confidence in the Zambian economy, and privatisation-related inflows. Growth has been strong and copper prices have recovered sharply,” partly reads the 124-page document.<\/p>\n

However, net portfolio flows have been negative in most of 2009 and 2010, reflecting disinvestment in Government securities by foreigners that decreased share from 11 per cent ($250 million) in early 2009 to one and half per cent ($30 million) at end-September 2010.<\/p>\n

On some local factors determining the flow of funds, the report notes that the prices of food has been one of them but that does not have a negative effect in Zambia and about four other African countries.<\/p>\n

“In a number of countries (Burkina Faso, Malawi, Nigeria, South Africa, Zambia), the 2010 harvest was strong, limiting price increases.<\/p>\n

“And even where local prices have increased reflecting international prices, substitution to other less internationally traded crops has been possible because these too have been in plentiful supply.”<\/p>\n
