Copper Prices Source: Tradingeconomics.com | Central Statistics Office of Zambia Copper is the major export earner for the country and higher prices always boost the economy, so with prices rising above US$ 7,000 per tonne in December 2017 and rising demand for copper , the outlook is positive. Anticipated demand for copper from: • economic expansion in China, where copper is essential for its technological, energy and infrastructure development; • rising production of electric cars; • America’s planned revamping of its energy and transportation infrastructure.

Bank lending Rates 24-30% 26-35% 20-28% In its 10th Economic Brief for Zambia published in December 2017, the World Source: Knight Frank Research Bank noted that Zambia, like countries all over the world , borrow to finance their investment and development and Zambia has huge and immediate infrastructure needs. The report noted that that the Zambian economy continued its recovery in 2017 but that a little over 10 years after a major debt relief effort, the rapid accumulation of debt has once again put Zambia in the spotlight and “a well crafted strategy needs to be implemented to reduce the cost of borrowing, extend the terms, and diversify the sources of debt funding to ensure that economic growth has sustainable foundations”. Money Market Developments Bank lending rates now range between 20 to 30%, after the Central Bank reduced its policy rate to 11% from Source: Tradingeconomics.com | Central Statistics Office of Zambia 12.5%. The rate has been further dropped to 10.25% as at 23 November 2017. Foreign Exchange Market The Zambian Kwacha stabilised between K9 and K10 to the US Dollar over the last one year, after reaching an all time high of K12 in 2015. This is due to increasing export earnings from copper sales. More efforts are being made to expand the agricultural sector in order to diversify the economy. Manufacturing activities remain low.

Whilst power cuts still occur they are far less then 12 months ago and business is better prepared. The Zambia Electricity Supply Corporation (ZESCO) is the main producer and distributor of electricity in the country. Hydro power is one of the most important energy sources in the country and is generated by three major hydro-electric power stations.

It draws particular attention to issues of water availability and demand, competing water users, and institutional arrangements for securing water and associated resources. The report comes at a time when several countries in southern Africa including Zambia are negotiating trade-offs associated with developing water resources whilst trying to ensure ecosystem integrity. Such trade-offs are occurring amidst several other pressures including population growth, urbanisation, climate variability, and changing patterns of economic production and consumption.

  • Mapping the Kafue Flats of Zambia a Case of the Mwanachingwala Conservation Area
    MAPPING THE KAFUE FLATS OF ZAMBIA A CASE OF THE MWANACHINGWALA CONSERVATION AREA Alick. R. MWANZA, Zambia Key words: Wetlands, photo control, environment, sustainability, digital mapping. ABSTRACT The Kafue Flats of Zambia are an open savannah wetland covering about 6,500 square kilometres along the lower reaches of the Kafue River. They are rich in a variety of wildlife, some of it unique to it. It also has various huge industries along it, which have disturbed the ecosystem of the wetlands with their chemical effluent and use of its waters. A project called WWF – Partners for Wetlands was thus initiated to try to mitigate this disturbance of the Kafue flats ecosystem. But for this project to successfully take off it required production of an up-to-date base map for planning and implementation of the entire project. The Department of Surveying in the School of Engineering of the University of Zambia was therefore contracted to produce the desired bas map for the conservation area and its environs, a total area of some 1,500 square kilometres in the Mazabuka district of Southern Province of Zambia. This paper therefore outlines how this mapping project was carried out as a contribution to sustainable use, management and environmental conservation of the Kafue Flats of Zambia. 1. INTRODUCTION The Kafue Flats of Zambia are an open savannah wetland covering about 6,500 square kilometres along the lower reaches of the Kafue River. They are rich in the best-known Kafue lechwe that is found nowhere else in the world and also support a unique and diverse bird life that includes the largest population of the endangered Wattled crane [WWF2, 2000].
