Zambia 2010 GDP likely above 7 per cent

Zambia is likely to register economic growth exceeding 7 per cent in 2010, spurred by a resurgence in mining and a boom in construction and agriculture, Bank of Zambia (BoZ) Governor Caleb Fundanga said on Monday. The Central Statistical Office said in October the economy was expected to grow by 6.3 percent in 2009.
