AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Copperbelt Business Mood: Copperbelt business leaders say UPND’s 2026 election win brings relief and confidence that debt restructuring and currency stability will continue, but they want stronger support for SMEs and mining-led investment. Animal Welfare & Enforcement: Police in Kabwe rescued 11 dogs from the meat trade after stopping a truck; one dog died, and LAWS is seeking donations for food, vet care and rehabilitation. Political Tensions: Former home affairs minister Katele Kalumba alleges UPND officials planned to arrest him for treason; UPND and police deny knowledge. Regional Trade & Borders: Zimbabwe and South Africa are pushing the One-Stop Border Post model at Beitbridge to cut clearance delays and boost AfCFTA trade flows. Capital Markets: Zambia’s August GRZ bond auction drew K8.6bn in bids against K6.3bn offered, signalling strong post-election investor demand. Cross-Border Health Security: ECSA-HC launched a six-month Ebola response along major DRC trade and migration corridors, including Zambia, to strengthen early detection at points of entry. Energy & Industry Linkages: Tanzania commissioned the 2,115MW Julius Nyerere Hydropower Project, creating surplus power and opening talks to export electricity to countries including Zambia. Standards for Exports: ZABS certified Fecko Investment’s Usingini Upland Coffee, clearing the way for formal exports and tackling smuggling concerns in Zambia’s coffee sector.
