LONDON/NEW YORK (Reuters) – Zambian foreign bondholders had signed non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) with the government as of Wednesday worth more than $3 billion, three sources said. It is an important step that marks the beginning of formal negotiations for restructuring. About international bonds.

The government plans to share detailed information on the basis of debt restructuring talks as early as Wednesday with some of the largest international bondholders who are members of the creditors’ committee, the sources said. Conversations are private.

The move comes after Zambia, Africa’s second-largest copper producer, reached an agreement in June with bilateral creditors including China and the Paris Club to roll back about $6.3 billion of debt. , hinting at other pending sovereign debt restructurings such as Ghana and Sri Lanka. Ranka could also move forward.

Amia Capital, Amundi, BlueBay Asset Management, Farallon Capital Management, Greylock Capital and T. Rowe Price form the Steering Committee.

So far, initial discussions between private creditors and government officials have only been conducted between financial and legal advisers.

Discussions will focus on how to incorporate the impact of potential improvements in Zambia’s debt-bearing and debt-servicing capacity, in addition to reducing the net present value.

The agreement with official creditors includes accelerating loan repayments and increasing interest rates if Zambia’s capacity changes from its current “weak” to “moderate” following the joint International Monetary Fund and World Bank assessment in 2026.
