ZM — Zambia

Zambia is a landlocked Southern African country known for Victoria Falls (shared with Zimbabwe), one of the world's largest waterfalls. Lusaka, the capital, is the country's largest city and economic center. Zambia is one of Africa's largest copper producers. The Zambian Kwacha (ZMW) replaced the old Kwacha (ZMK) in 2013 through redenomination. For developers, the ZM country code maps to the en-ZM locale for Zambian English. The .zm domain and +260 calling code serve Zambia's digital infrastructure. The 2013 currency redenomination from ZMK to ZMW (where 1,000 old Kwacha became 1 new Kwacha) is another example of why currency code handling must account for changes over time. Zambia's mobile money market is growing with services from Airtel, MTN, and Zamtel. The country's English-speaking status and growing mobile connectivity make it an accessible market for applications expanding into Southern Africa.
