The major reason why Zambia is in debt is because 90% of its people make less than $2 per day. In the late 1990's, Zambia was paying about a third of the value of its exports to repay its debt, but about that time Zambia began an intense economic reform program that involved a lot of privatization, and this helped to decrease their debt burden.

Impact of colonialism in Zambia?

Colonialism impacted by putting Zambia into severe debt which is still felt today. British Colonies loaned money to Zambia under the condition that they were to control all mineral and major exports. Zambia along with other South African Countries agreed in turn these colonies loaned billion of dollars. However Zambia had to pay this money back with interest much like a bank loan and many of their resources had been stripped by these british colonies who sold things such as copper to thriving nations. In the end Zambia owed billions of dollars, had few trained workers, and little resources.
