ZAMBIAN President Fredrick Chiluba, in a desperate move to salvage his country’s depreciating currency, has appealed to investors and businessmen to immediately stop quoting prices in US dollars. President Chiluba said the rapid depreciation of the Zambian kwacha had resulted from high demand for the US currency, which is now closer to legal tender than the domestic unit. The kwacha has rapidly depreciated in value in the last three months and it is now pegged at about 4 500 units to the dollar. – AFP
