9 Zambia Impact of Global Economy Development Three aspect that may have impact on the Zambia Economy. Sluggish Global Economy and low demand Low commodity prices-copper prices Low Oil prices however have a positive impact Quantitative Easing in the USA and net effect from Japan & Euro Zone-: Reduction in Capital Inflows (FDIs) Performance of the Eurobond may be affected Effect of the Ebola- threat on attracting investors or tourism

10 Zambia Investment opportunities Investment opportunities are in the : Agriculture sector Mining Tourism Energy Manufacturing

11 Zambia General Investment Environment Legislation and investment incentives are provided for under the Zambia Development Agency Act. Some of priority sectors/ products as provided for under ZDA Act: Agricultural value addition (Floriculture, Horticulture, Processed foods) Textile sector Manufacturing of the copper, iron & steel, cobalt and other engineering products, Fertilizer production, Cement production Timber processing Leather production and processing Energy-Building of Mini-hydro power stations and alternative sources f energy Education and skills training Mining

12 Finance and Banking: Well developed banking and Financial Services sector- being supported by Financial Sector Development Plan Support infrastructure Zambia Investment opportunities Roads: opening of the country through link Zambia 8000 inter mine roads Rail: Copperbelt to RSA, Kapiri Mposhi to Tanzania Air Transport: 4 international Airports and several Airstrips Energy: mainly is Hydro power stations (Zambia has 40% of water bodies in southern Africa). Zambia has also abundant coal deposits for thermal power. Potential 6,000Mw available generation 2,000MW, and Currently demand peak MWh Current Power Projects- Kafue lower750mw, Itezhi tezhi 120MW, Maamba Thermal 300Mw and several mini hydro power stations)

13 MINING IN ZAMBIA

14 Mining has been the main source of expoert earning

15 Zambia Minerals and Geology Zambia has vast mineral resources which include copper, cobalt, iron, manganese, nickel, uranium, gold platinum group metals, gemstones and coal among others. Exploration activities in Luapula, Copperbelt, North Western and in Central Provinces.
