Zambia’s sinking fund balance by August 2021 was not clearly stated in the search result I found, but the available public documents point to the government discussing the use of a sinking fund for Eurobond repayment rather than showing a confirmed balance figure for that month.

What the sources show

  • A UN paper from August 2021 says one proposed way to repay Eurobonds was to set up a sinking fund, which suggests the idea was being discussed at that time.
  • An official Zambia public debt summary for end-2021 is available, but the search snippet I found does not surface a sinking-fund amount.
  • A later public debt law says contributions to a sinking fund must be sufficient for the purpose, but it does not give the August 2021 balance itself.

Answer

So, based on the information I could verify here, I cannot confirm a specific amount in Zambia’s sinking fund by August 2021. If you want the exact figure, it likely needs to be pulled from the end-2021 public debt summary or a related debt report that explicitly lists the sinking fund balance.
