News flash Banks in SA got caught manipulating the Rand which confirm my argument . They destroy countries using the monetary systems. Argentina is also down the drain . It's all about Resources. They just got reward by changing the political sphere and the idiot governor just elected is going to turn his country into a US state. He is going to remove his own country's currency. They are doing it blatantly and using the corruption as the reason . Italy has old age corruption of Mafia boss . How come they still have any economy.

The real problem is that China loaned out money with excessively high interest rates and half the time to repay. They also loaned out far more than the countries could realistically repay. To give you an example IMF loans are 1-2% interest rates at 20-30 years to pay back. The Chinese banks were charging 4-6% at 10-15 years so that is a massive difference. The corruption, lack of education, and dirty politicians made all this possible when it should not have been financially. What I have said is well known now, proven, and documented. Yet, the CCP is still holding back plans to restructure because THEY made too many bad loans that are now costing them as well.

All they want is collateral incase you fail to pay. When you get the money, the responsibility of how you use it lies with you. That is how all debt around the world works.

The trouble begins when the country, (in this case Zambia), uses her borrowing from bilateral loaning countries to pay her debt to institutions, like IMF and World Bank, but also some traditional Western banks that they had borrowed earlier for historical reasons. Imagine that you make a bank loan to pay for your multiple credit cards debts, then subsequently blamed the bank for not willing to forgive your default on your payment of interests on the loans from the bank. IMF has always been the cause of many failures of countries in the past. Remember the Asian Financial Crisis of the 1990s? Or the South American nations in the 2000s? Or even Russia in the early 1990s? They are have their national debts owing to the Western financial institutions that make loans at higher commercial rates, based on the interest rates quoted by Barclays, Duetche Bank, Credit Suisse, etc.

The IMF are rarely the cause of financial trouble, they are the rescue team once you're lying in your room with a heart attack. What they will do is demand that you go on a diet and exercise program that can often seem much too tough.

I think this is scapegoating by failed politicians so that they are not blamed. This has led to as worse reactions as racism to xeniphobic attacks in some countries over the years. Few countries still think that immigration is good for their economy. I think the economic problems we are faced with in most countries are deeper and more far-reaching than we are told and so should solutions be.

of course....why should bilateral lenders like China and France take a bigger haircut than others? Those mostly western market creditors (and to a lesser extent IMF/WB/ADB etc) tried the same stunt in Srilanka

Meaning our govt lied to us when they said they have done debt restructuring

SHamful

Zambia isn't South East but in Southern Africa.

I hate the new studio setup...please return the old one

Beware of Chinese loan.

African stand own take care yourself make your own money

Our so called all weather friend China has now let us down. Well, it just shows that our all weather friend is only a friend when they’re after our mineral resources. Not to worry! We’ll also not allow our all weather friend get resources for a song any more. Thanks Palki.

I think it has more to do with how our president is being aligned more to the western side than the east. Still petty of them but at the end of the day our president needs to make up his mind about whether he is gonna allow his legacy to read 'The Zambian President who was a puppet of the West'. Truth is the money we owe China is not even money China needs back. Infact it's value is more in the perspective of the leverage it holds over Zambia as a nation.

Too bad

Dollar denominated not dollar dominated.

Did China and others who have agreed on the ancient Debt Restructuring Plan were invited to take part to the new plan or the plan has been elaborated without them and result was submitted to them? Strictly someone cannot logically veto something he has elaborated. Therefore, here they should have considered the sensitivities in making others have the feeling of ownership of the outcome. Thus, invited China and others to take full part to the New Debt Restructuring Plan. China may have felt recognized, respected, China may have suggested ideas, but not vetoed the result. Because the feeling would have been that of something that has been collectively elaborated. I wouldn't blame China. Those who have conceive the new plan haven't take into account the sensitivities of those have to agreed or impacted by the plan. Sensitivity is one of the first faculties deployed by perception.

Pretty sure the restructuring was led by France and other Western countries. The president first visited USA and Europe several times when he first got into power, but not China. Which was absurd given that China is our biggest creditor by far. I also suspect that China vetoed it because they have been undermined by the Zambian government throughout the negotiations.

China is owed, but it shouldn't strangle Zambia, we understand china's motive

But this works better for Zamhia in the end so if we look at it China has good intentions but the only thing is that the longer wait is bitting our people harder
