@MForstater to be clear.Your critique doesnt: 1.Rule out transfer pricing 2.Provide answer to "where does Zambia's copper go"?@alexcobham
@gchelwa No indeed, it just unpicks the number "Zambia's GDP would hv been 80% higher"- which was a false reading based on tiny shipments.

@MForstater, thanks! Have you by any chance looked at COMTRADE frm yrs after 08 to see if tiny shipments of this type show up again? -
@gchelwa - Sw ore exports are always tiny. cathode sometimes a bit more but still small ammnts. The high prices are clear outliers
