The territory of Northern Rhodesia was administered by
the [British] South Africa Company from 1891 until it
was taken over by the UK in 1923. During the 1920s and
1930s, advances in mining spurred development and immigration.
The name was changed to Zambia upon independence in 1964.
In the 1980s and 1990s, declining copper prices and a
prolonged drought hurt the economy. Elections in 1991
brought an end to one-party rule, but the subsequent vote
in 1996 saw blatant harassment of opposition parties.
The election in 2001 was marked by administrative problems
with three parties filing a legal petition challenging
the election of ruling party candidate Levy MWANAWASA.
The new president launched an anticorruption investigation
in 2002 to probe high-level corruption during the previous
administration. In 2006-07, this task force successfully
prosecuted four cases, including a landmark civil case
in the UK in which former President CHILUBA and numerous
others were found liable for USD 41 million. MWANAWASA
was reelected in 2006 in an election that was deemed free
and fair. Upon his abrupt death in August 2008, he was
succeeded by his Vice-president Rupiah BANDA, who subsequently
won a special presidential election in October 2008. |
Zambia's economy has experienced strong growth in recent
years, with real GDP growth in 2005-08 about 6% per year.
Privatization of government-owned copper mines in the
1990s relieved the government from covering mammoth losses
generated by the industry and greatly improved the chances
for copper mining to return to profitability and spur
economic growth. Copper output has increased steadily
since 2004, due to higher copper prices and foreign investment.
In 2005, Zambia qualified for debt relief under the Highly
Indebted Poor Country Initiative, consisting of approximately
USD 6 billion in debt relief. Zambia experienced a bumper
harvest in 2007, which helped to boost GDP and agricultural
exports and contain inflation. Although poverty continues
to be significant problem in Zambia, its economy has strengthened,
featuring single-digit inflation, a relatively stable
currency, decreasing interest rates, and increasing levels
of trade. The decline in world commodity prices and demand
will hurt GDP growth in 2009, and elections and campaign
promises are likely to weaken Zambia's improved fiscal
stance. |
