Market-oriented economic policies focusing on sustainable economic growth and private sector development have created an enabling climate in which to do business, attracting significant foreign direct investment (FDI). The European Union constitutes the largest single foreign investor into Zambia, followed by South Africa.
Economic reforms in the period since 1991 have included a free currency exchange regime, privatization of many state-owned enterprises, financial market developments including the stock market, and the pursuit of structural reforms backed by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank, such as the removal of consumer subsidies and price controls. The expansion of non-traditional exports (NTEs) is also vital in order to achieve the goal of sustainable economic growth.
