AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

Macroeconomic Clarity: Zambia’s GDP rebasing is set to give a clearer picture of the economy, supporting evidence-based policymaking and investor confidence. Capital Markets Reform: The Bank of Zambia has opened the Government securities market to all investors, including individuals, businesses, institutions and foreign investors, as long as they meet basic registration requirements. Currency Watch: The naira posted strong gains in 2026’s first half, ranking among Africa’s best-performing currencies, while Zambia’s kwacha also led gains among tracked currencies. Mining Tax Base Pressure: ZRA says only 10 mines out of over 2,000 licence holders contributed 80% of mining revenue last year, highlighting a narrow tax base and the challenge of taxing the informal sector. Election Integrity Claims: ECZ dismissed rigging allegations and said it is set to begin training district election trainers this week, while also rejecting claims of outside funding for illicit activities. Public Finance & Debt Relief Politics: Opposition candidate Brian Mundubile pledged a debt swap programme for teachers and civil servants, citing a reported Kabwe teacher suicide linked to debt stress. Regional Trade Signals: Zambezi borders recorded record import and export values, with officials pointing to faster One Stop Border Post implementation to keep trade moving. Health & Safety: Africa CDC welcomed the start of a clinical trial targeting the Bundibugyo Ebola strain in DRC and Uganda, as WHO and partners scale up a $518m response plan.
