AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Corporate Earnings: Zambeef Products says first-half profit jumped 108.3% in kwacha terms, with revenue up 2.3% to ZMW3.93bn, as operating margins improved and inflation eased, plus more reliable electricity supply. Foreign Exchange Reserves Debate: President Hakainde Hichilema told a packed Heroes Stadium crowd the US$6.5bn reserves must stay intact for national emergencies, pushing back on claims they should be used to ease the cost of living; economists and opposition figures continue to trade arguments over “reserves vs IMF loans” and whether buffers should be spent. Campaign Trail & Economy Messaging: Hichilema launched the UPND re-election campaign with promises on jobs, free education and lower costs, while the event also sparked chatter over entertainment-heavy rallies and viral dance moments. Food Security & Agriculture: Muchinga targets 65,000 metric tons of white maize for strategic food reserves, urging farmers to keep some for household use amid possible El Niño impacts and to adopt climate-smart farming. Innovation & Entrepreneurship: Government reports over K53m invested in science, research and technology, supporting research projects and start-ups through the National Research Fund and Technology Business Development Fund. Regional Finance: Moody’s flags Absa’s planned R4bn increase in its Kenya stake as credit positive, while noting higher East Africa risks. Public Health: Government launched the Zambia Cancer Survivors Network to connect survivors and improve access to screening and care.
