Economists accuse bondholders of standing to make huge profits at the expense of the crisis-hit country

Zambia is seeking up to $8.4bn (£7.3bn) in debt relief from major lenders, including private funds run by the world’s largest investment manager, BlackRock, to help put its public finances back in order.
