AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Critical Minerals: The World Bank plans to increase its critical-minerals business fivefold over five years, with Zambia among eight countries setting priorities to build local industries and retain more value from mineral resources. ZCCM-IH says copper trading could help Zambia capture more of that value, while Zambia is reportedly set to settle some copper sales to China in yuan. Jobs: Zambia’s unemployment rate fell to 9.9% in 2025 from 12.9% a year earlier, the new labour survey says. It estimates 4.76 million people were employed, while youth unemployment stood at 14.2%. Agriculture: A report says K16 billion in maize payments remains unpaid, with 57% of purchased maize still in storage, keeping pressure on farmers and the food supply chain.
