Zambia creditors are nearing an agreement on a long-overdue debt restructuring deal that would facilitate the IMF to release a USD 188 mln disbursement to the economically distressed nation. Meanwhile, The World Bank has approved a USD 100 mln credit to bolster Zambia’s nature-based economy and enhance economic opportunities in emerging tourist destinations. Despite the challenges of poor accessibility, poverty, and environmental degradation, Zambia’s significant natural assets present substantial opportunities for green economic pathways and poverty reduction strategies.
