Technical Support Mission on International Credit Ratings - Republic of Zambia

As part of the African Union’s mechanisms of support to member states in the field of credit ratings, the APRM undertakes technical support missions (hereafter called “mission”) to African countries to assess their capacity to engage with international credit rating agencies (CRAs), in reviews and in implementing review recommendations. This support is in line with Decision Assembly/AU/ Dec.631(XXVII) of the 28th Ordinary Session of the African Union (AU) Assembly of Heads of State and Government, stipulating that the African Peer Review Mechanism (APRM) and its strategic partners support AU Member States in improving their sovereign credit ratings. Accordingly, the APRM undertakes missions to countries to identify gaps and challenges that could impact credit ratings, as well as key success factors and best practices that can be shared with other African countries.
