Minister announced an Economic Recovery Programme designed to make Zambia's debt sustainable and reinvigorate growth. Government's new debt management policy includes cancelling US$1.1 billion of pipeline loans and saving US$280 million by rescoping existing projects. Zambia has also sought participation in the G20's Debt Service Suspension Initiative, which provides debt service relief until the end of the year.
