The Executive Secretary of UNECA, Vera Songwe, Delivers Public Lecture on Debt Financing to Economics Students & Staff of the University of Zambia
| dc.description | United Nations Under-Secretary-General and Executive Secretary of the Economic Commission for Africa (ECA), Vera Songwe, delivered a public lecture on ‘Sovereign Debt, Growth and Channels of Transformation’ to over 200 students and academic staff of the University of Zambia (UNZA) School of Economics on 14 July 2022. The lecture was organized on the margins of the 41st Ordinary Session of the Executive Council of the African Union in Lusaka, Zambia. Ms. Songwe informed participants that since 2011, Zambia had moved away from relying on multilateral lenders and the Paris club. She said the country’s top four creditors in 2020 included China, Private Sector bondholders, International Development Agencies, and the United Kingdom. The ECA Chief noted, however, that Zambia’s debt stock increased from nearly 20% to about 125% of GDP between 2008 and 2020. | en |
