AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Zambia Election Court Challenge: Opposition leader Brian Mundubile says he will take President Hakainde Hichilema’s re-election to court, alleging fraud and irregularities in conduct, counting, transmission and results, after ECZ declared Hichilema with about 60% versus Mundubile’s 38%; the UN rights chief also urged Zambia to stop arbitrary arrests of opposition figures. Market Outlook: The Lusaka Securities Exchange expects trading to pick up after the election, saying liquidity and investor confidence were hit by election-related risk and global uncertainty, with attention now turning to the national budget. Local Content Push: Government has started consultations on a new National Local Content Strategy in Southern Province to boost use of locally produced goods, skills development, technology transfer and value addition. Banking & Investment Sentiment: Equity Group reported a 31.5% half-year profit jump but skipped an interim dividend to build capital for expansion across new markets, including Zambia. Cross-Border E-Commerce Payments: Standard Bank and UnionPay expanded UnionPay e-commerce acceptance to nine African markets, including Zambia, giving merchants more payment choice for cross-border shoppers. Transport & Safety: After the Kariba ferry disaster, Zimbabwean authorities and residents are calling for upgrades to the Charara–Kanyanya (Gachegache) road as an alternative route for communities and trade. Jobs at Risk: Farmer’s Meat Mariental Abattoir closure in Namibia is expected to disrupt the sheep value chain, jobs and export markets.
