AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Copperbelt Campaign Push: President Hakainde Hichilema unveiled a Copperbelt package, including reopening mothballed mining operations and personally paying ZESCO connection fees for 16,000 households in Chambishi, as he rallies voters eight days to the 13 August general election. Monetary Policy Watch: Bank of Zambia cut the Statutory Reserve Ratio on Kwacha deposits from 26% to 21% effective 3 August, a move expected to free more liquidity for lending to businesses and households. Mining & Jobs Focus: Zambia’s miners are urging the next government to boost exploration and mineral processing, arguing incentives and power expansion are key to tripling copper output. Election Tensions: Civil society demanded ECZ action over alleged UPND-linked violence after attacks in Mwembeshi and Luampa, while ballot delivery in Chasefu sparked a tense standoff between party officials. Youth & Democracy: A 2026 African Youth Survey found young Africans back democracy but want home-grown reforms, more jobs, and leaders who deliver services. Regional Finance: AfDB’s concessional window approved a $4.23m grant to help integrate natural capital into development financing across 13 countries including Zambia. Air Connectivity: Emirates and South African Airways expanded their codeshare with new routes linking Johannesburg to Lusaka and other regional destinations.
