Zambia Takes Debt, Power And Lobito Corridor Agenda To IMF-World Bank Meetings In Bangkok

Zambian officials are attending the International Monetary Fund and World Bank Group annual meetings in Bangkok, Thailand, to advance a strategic economic agenda. The delegation is focused on securing approval for a new IMF program and seeking financing for critical infrastructure projects, specifically targeting the power and transport sectors.
