Zambia has recorded a drop in Foreign Direct Investment under the PF government in 2012.
According to a preliminary report on a 2012 survey on Foreign Private Sector Investment and Investor Perceptions, it has been observed that Zambia has recorded a decline in Foreign Direct Investment.
Under the PF government many stakeholders have loudly grumble in the way the economy has been managed. The government has this year deported several foreign investors based on political reasons.
Following the deportations, many stakeholders and economic commentators have expressed reservations at the possibility of growing the economy further. They have feared that the deportations might harm the economy by creating second thought in possible foreign investors.
ZBank of Zambia Governor Michael Gondwe has said last year, the FDI grew from 9.8 percent to 10.9 percent representing inflows of US $1.1 billion. Dr. Gondwe notes that despite the growth, the inflows were 35.9 percent lower than the US $1.7 billion recorded in 2010
