Macroeconomic Forecast Zambia

April 2008 | Macroeconomic Forecasts

BMI View: We are forecasting real GDP growth of 6.1% in 2008, on the back of large FDI inflows, especially from China. Thereafter we expect real GDP growth to slow to 5.5%, as FDI slows. From a balance of payments perspective, high copper prices will sustain a surplus equal to 5.2% of GDP in 2008, and 4.0% of GDP in 2009.
