Zambia’s import of Aluminium wire during 2018-19 exhibits uniform; 2020 records robust growth

EDITED BY : RUPANKAR MAJUMDER 2MINS READ

In 2019, Zambia’s real GDP growth decelerated to an estimated 2%, which was down from 4.0% in 2018. The economy was hit by drought in the south and west that lowered 2018/19 agricultural production and hydropower electricity generation considerably. Severe electricity rationing followed, and long periods of electricity load shedding dampened activity in almost all economic sectors. Zambia also faces slower mining, with reduced output and lower copper prices. Economic activity is expected to remain weak, with growth rebounding moderately to 2.4% in 2020 and 2.9% in 2021.
