据Taonga Mitimingi报道，赞比亚与国际货币基金组织达成了一项协议，将实施一项金额达14.7亿美元的援助计划，旨在促进经济稳定与增长。
Zambia reached a staff-level agreement with the International Monetary Fund for a fresh $1.47 billion program to bolster economic stability and boost growth.
这家总部位于华盛顿的机构在周五发布的声明中指出：“尽管赞比亚经济显著复苏且通胀率大幅下降，但2026年的财政压力却持续加剧。赞比亚政府的计划旨在通过增加财政收入、控制支出规模来恢复财政缓冲能力，同时保障重点社会开支。”这个位于非洲南部、盛产铜矿的国家今年早些时候顺利完成了上一轮国际货币基金组织的援助计划，该计划有效推动了始于2020年的艰难且漫长的债务重组进程。
“While Zambia’s economy has strengthened considerably, and inflation has fallen sharply, fiscal pressures have intensified in 2026,” the Washington-based lender said in a statement Friday. “The authorities’ program aims to restore fiscal buffers by increasing revenues and expenditure restraint while protecting priority social spending.”The copper-rich southern African nation earlier this year successfully concluded its previous IMF program, which anchored a painful, prolonged debt-restructuring process that began in 2020.
目前，赞比亚政府计划利用已取得的宏观经济稳定成果，进一步带动经济增长并创造更多就业机会，造福国内庞大的年轻群体。
The government has said it now aims to consolidate the macroeconomic stability it’s restored to drive growth and jobs for its young population.
国际货币基金组织预测，今年赞比亚的经济增速有望达到5.6%。
The IMF forecasts the economy will expand by 5.6% this year.
这项为期三年的延期信贷计划尚需获得国际货币基金组织执行董事会的批准方可正式实施。
