COVID-19 Intervention Measures

The Zambian economy has been facing significant macroeconomic challenges as reflected in low growth, high fiscal deficits, rising inflation and debt service obligations as well as low international reserves.

Although the full impact of the COVID-19 shock on public health and the economy cannot be determined at the moment, indications are that it will be unprecedented. The Bank of Zambia has introduced the following set of measures to address the impact of the pandemic on the economy.
