Assessing the potential effects on Zambia of an Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) with the EU

The EU has proposed signing free trade agreements with regional groups in Africa, the Caribbean and the Pacific. This study looks at how such an agreement would affect Zambia, through changes in its exports, imports, tariff revenue, and costs of production. It examines the various ways in which such an agreement might be implemented and compares the possible outcomes to Zambia’s current trading relationships with the EU.
