A London arbitration tribunal ordered ZCCM Investments Holdings Plc to pay Trafigura approximately $92 million. The decision resolves a dispute over a prepayment agreement linked to Konkola Copper Mines operations. The ruling involved Zambia's state-owned investment company and the commodity trader.
