“For the past six years, the economy has grown by 5%, and I expect it to reach 6% this year. Previously, only one province produced copper, but now a second province is producing both copper and gold. We also have reserves of cobalt, uranium, and precious stones. Zambia is therefore rich in minerals, and we are actively inviting investors. Many have already come, driving economic growth and creating jobs. The economic outlook is very positive, and both the World Bank and IMF are pleased with our progress.”
