AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

US-Zambia Trade Boost: The U.S. Export-Import (EXIM) Bank has reopened short-term commercial credit and insurance for Zambia’s private sector, effective July 30, as the AGOA extension through 2028 takes effect—an apparent shift from aid tensions to trade-backed financing. Corporate Leadership: Champion Breweries PLC has appointed Malolan Sampath as Managing Director and CEO, effective 1 September 2026, following a leadership transition. Energy Supply Push: Government and investors say Zambia is adding more power to the national grid, with generation capacity rising from about 3,100MW in 2021 to 4,576MW in 2026, including faster solar growth. Anti-Money Laundering Progress: Zambia’s FATF/ESAAMLG ratings improved, with three areas upgraded—beneficial ownership, financial institutions supervision, and oversight of designated non-financial businesses and professions. Digital Government: The Secretary to the Cabinet has directed ministries and state entities to adopt and use the Smart Office Platform, with progress reporting due by end of October. Agribusiness Infrastructure: The Zambia Fruits and Vegetables Association urges investment in cold-room facilities to cut post-harvest losses and meet export standards. Media Personnel Update: ZNBC says veteran broadcasters Innocent Kalaluka and Franklin Tembo Jnr have retired effective 31 August, describing it as voluntary and compliant with labour rules.
