AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

Energy & Climate Resilience: Zambia says it is ramping up electricity generation capacity, with solar playing a key role as drought-linked hydropower shortfalls have previously driven long hours of load shedding. Mining Transparency & Investment Climate: NRPUP presidential candidate Brian Mundubile has challenged President Hakainde Hichilema to immediately publish the nationwide mineral survey report, arguing it was funded by taxpayers and should be public to unlock investment. Inflation & Currency Watch: Zambia’s annual inflation held steady at 6.5% in July, helped by a stronger kwacha and a continued fuel tax moratorium, easing pressure on import costs. Business Leadership & Finance: NICO Holdings has appointed Dr Kwanele Ngwenya as Deputy Group Managing Director, signalling leadership succession as the group expands across the region. Health & Economic Development: President Hichilema commissioned US$31m advanced cancer treatment equipment at Lusaka’s Cancer Diseases Hospital, and outlined plans to expand oncology services to other towns. HIV Funding Risk: Zambia’s infectious diseases director warns that cuts to global HIV funding could raise new infections if community prevention work is squeezed. US Visa Policy Impact: The US has made its visa bond programme permanent for business and tourist applicants from 50 countries, including Zambia, with bonds up to $20,000—raising travel and compliance costs for regional travellers. Politics & Social Stability: Traditional leaders and church figures have warned against political violence as funerals have turned into flashpoints ahead of the August 13 election.
