Economy
The current productive structures of Zambia are still mostly those created in colonial times, essentially in function of the mining exploitation and in particular of copper. The government, after independence (1964), initiated reforms aimed at strengthening agriculture, diversifying industry, creating new development poles in addition to those that have long been built in a few economically privileged areas. However, the world economic crisis, the collapse of copper prices on international markets (in 1964 copper contributed 43% to the formation of the GDP of Zambia, in 1980 it dropped to 12% while still accounting for 90% of export earnings), the inevitable involvement of Zambia in the wars of southern Africa, which in the 1970s saw Angola, Mozambique and Zimbabwe as the main protagonists, the huge debts contracted with foreign countries and in particular with the International Monetary Fund, dragged the country into a serious economic crisis. After 1983, the determination to fully introduce the market economy (abolition of controlled prices and subsidies for basic necessities) and to pursue significant privatizations, to reduce the expenditure of the state budget and to stimulate foreign investment, while aiming to increasing the diversification of the national economy led to a rescheduling of debt, a beneficial effect on state finances, albeit at the cost of a sharp deterioration in living conditions. The recovery plan launched in the early 1990s, under the supervision of the IMF, led to the privatization of numerous public enterprises (especially in the copper sector) and, if on the one hand it meant that starting from 2000 there was an average rate of real increase in GDP of around 4.5% per year, it has not solved the structural problems of the economy. Zambia remains heavily dependent on the copper industry, international loans and is burdened with extremely high foreign debt. GDP growth (US $ 14,323 million) in 2008 was high, but inflation (12.4% in 2008) and the unemployment rate were also high. GDP inflation (12.4% in 2008) and the unemployment rate. GDP inflation (12.4% in 2008) and the unemployment rate. GDP per capita stands at medium-low levels: US $ 1,150 (2008). The social tension remains high as a result, the government tries to contain it with a policy of austerity.
