O rácio da dívida das administrações públicas em relação ao PIB mede a dívida bruta das administrações públicas como percentagem do PIB. A dívida é calculada como a soma das seguintes categorias de passivo (conforme aplicável): moeda e depósitos; títulos de dívida, empréstimos; seguros, pensões e esquemas de garantia normalizados, e outras contas a pagar.
Esta percentagem é calculada a partir do número de assinaturas de telemóveis por 100 adultos. Ocasionalmente, um único utilizador terá mais do que uma assinatura de telemóvel e por isso é possível que este valor exceda 100%.

There is inconsistency between the Value Added Tax (Zero-Rating) Order, 2010 and the Consolidated Tariff book. The latter states that the standard rate of 16% applies, while the former mentions an zero-rating. Consultations with local companies in Zambia confirmed that they are not paying VAT on solar and batteries, which means that the Zero Rating Order is in force.
No mention of wind turbines in Zero rating order. Standard rate applies as per the Consolidated tariff book

O crescimento económico real, ou taxa de crescimento do PIB real, mede o crescimento económico no que diz respeito ao PIB de um período para outro, ajustado à inflação, e expresso em termos reais em oposição aos termos nominais. A taxa de crescimento económico real considera a inflação na sua medição do crescimento económico, ao contrário da taxa de crescimento nominal do PIB, que não o faz.

Visão geral
Visão geral
Zambia’s economic growth slowed significantly in 2019, contracting to 1.5% from 4% in the previous year. Per capita gross domestic product (GDP) declined accordingly, dropping by 15% to €1171. Already high levels of national debt, exceeding 60% of GDP in 2017, surged to more than 90% in 2019. The country’s investment grade ratings saw downgrades by both Moody’s and Standard and Poor’s (S&P) in each of the three years up to 2020. Current ratings are Ca and CCC as determined by each rating agency respectively. Meanwhile, the country’s ease of doing business ranking has climbed several places since 2015, improving from 111 of 190 countries to 87 in 2019.
Inflation in Zambia has been volatile over the last few years, with strong moves in both directions. Rates rose by 7% in 2018 to 9.8% in 2019, following a drop from 17.9% to less than 7% between 2016 and 2017. This volatility is reflected in the relative strength of the Zambian kwacha against major global currencies. Exchange rates with the US dollar and euro show double digit quarterly changes nearly every year since 2015. Amid the volatility during this period, the domestic currency has lost much of its value, effectively doubling the price of a US dollar or euro over the same period.
Foreign investment into the country more than halved between 2017 and 2018, both in US dollar terms and relative to GDP. The inflow of almost €350 million in 2018 is substantially less than foreign investments exceeding €1 billion in both 2014 and 2015. This difference highlights the country’s historic ability to attract investment. The Zambia Development Agency (ZDA) is the government authority mandated to develop and oversee investment and trade in the country. Energy is one of six key sectors the ZDA plans to develop, with a keen focus on renewable sources.
In contrast to total investment, clean energy investment volumes grew between 2017 and 2018, from €52.8 million to €62.8 million. In the same period, foreign capital accounted for 79% and 83% of total clean energy investment, respectively. The country’s taxation regime is generally favourable to renewable energy technologies, with no import duties charged on solar panels, wind turbines or batteries. A VAT rate of 16% is applicable to wind turbines while other technologies are charged a zero rate.
