AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Election battlegrounds: Tonse Pamodzi Alliance presidential candidate Brian Mundubile and running mate Makebi Zulu shift to Lusaka for a four-day push, while President Hakainde Hichilema campaigns in Muchinga ahead of 13 August. Food security pressure: Farmers are anxious after the Food Reserve Agency (FRA) delayed announcing the 2026 maize floor price, leaving producers uncertain on where and at what price to sell. Industrial expansion: Zambia’s Golden Baobab Multi-Facility Economic Zone in Kafue is nearing completion (about US$300m) and is expected to start operations soon, boosting jobs and industrial output. Digital finance for workers: MTN Mobile Money Zambia launches Salary Advance for eligible public-sector employees, with repayments automatically deducted from salaries. Cross-border trade & payments: MTN MoMo Zambia and TerraPay’s Xend enable cross-border payments to merchants across East Africa and allow East Africans to pay in Zambia via mobile money. Regional connectivity: Cabinet approved a headquarters agreement for the Walvis Bay–Ndola–Lubumbashi corridor management committee, strengthening access for landlocked Zambia and DRC to Namibia’s port. Mining outlook: Zambia’s copper resurgence is drawing fresh investment, with expansions on the Copperbelt and North-West expected to drive jobs and industrial growth.
