Last update: an hour ago

Export Standards Push: Zambia is signing new deals to tighten product certification and standardisation, including a digital supply-chain finance platform to quantify exports more accurately for the first time, plus support to strengthen national assessment and certification infrastructure. Water for Mining Towns: A $33m World Bank-backed programme is moving into implementation support in North-Western Province, targeting cleaner water and sanitation for growth centres and utilities across several provinces. Mining Momentum: Mining updates point to resilience in Q1 2026, with large-scale copper output up and emerald production surging, feeding foreign exchange gains and helping the Kwacha. Monetary Policy Shift: The Bank of Zambia cut the Monetary Policy Rate to 13.25%, citing a stronger Kwacha, record reserves and inflation easing. Elections and Governance: President Hichilema urged the ECZ and political parties to deliver free, fair, peaceful polls on 13 August, while also holding a final Cabinet farewell ahead of Parliament’s dissolution. Trade Diplomacy: Zambia launched a Zambia–Saudi Arabia Business Council to deepen private-sector trade and investment ties.
