DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/6433256b/oecd_investment_po) has announced the addition of OECD Publishing's new report "OECD Investment Policy Reviews: Zambia 2012" to their offering.
Zambia is one of the dynamic growth poles of Southern Africa, thanks to important progress in recent years in strengthening its policy framework for investment. The economy is landlocked but is strategically land-linked to eight neighbors in the middle of Southern Africa and has significant development potential and good economic prospects.
Zambia boasted a real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of 5.9% per annum between 2004 and 2010, exports expanded ten-fold and FDI increased eightfold, reaching USD 1.3 billion in 2007 and hit a record USD 2.4 billion in the first half of 2010. The economy has been relatively resilient in the recent global downturn, benefiting from stable macro-economic policies, good harvests and buoyant demand for copper, especially from emerging markets. Zambia's economy continued to grow in 2010 with real GDP of 7.6%. While extractive industries still attract the bulk of investment, the services sector, especially banking and tourism, and agriculture, have also catalyzed significant volumes of FDI.
OECD's review of investment policy in Zambia reviews the country's investment policy, investment promotion and facilitation, trade and competition policy, tax policy, corporate governance, policies for promoting responsible business conduct, infrastructure development and other aspects of the policy framework for investment.
