Economist Grieve Chelwa has expressed concern over some conditions attached to the 1.3 billion dollars International Monetary Fund Extended Credit Facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Chelwa says structural benchmarks such as subsidy removal from fuel and electricity will negatively impact poor Zambians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Economist Yusuf Dodia says if the government takes the route of increasing corporate income tax, local businesses will be under immense pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr. Dodia adds that exemptions or tax holidays that multinational companies are enjoying should be extended to Zambian businesses as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
