IMF Update: The IMF says Zambia has made “substantial progress” restoring macroeconomic stability after a two-week mission—bringing inflation back to the 6–8% target band (6.8% in April) and lifting gross reserves to about US$6.4bn, while debt restructuring now covers roughly 94% of the perimeter. Debt Deal: Zambia also signed a US$460m debt restructuring agreement with Israel, extending obligations to 2043 to ease debt-service pressure and create fiscal space. Mining & Industry: Zambia Sugar’s US$76m Twazabuka project is on track for completion and commissioning in August 2027, with plans for 150+ jobs and improved storage and supply coverage. Energy & Climate: At a Nairobi parliamentary forum, Zambia highlighted its solar-by-constituency model—community-owned 2MW plants in every constituency—as a practical answer to energy poverty while pursuing climate goals. Sports Governance: Former Chipolopolo winger Cliford Mulenga opposes FAZ’s move to expand the Super League from 18 to 20 teams, warning it could strain clubs and weaken competition. Regional Trade: Russia’s FESCO says it has completed a new direct container corridor to Dar es Salaam, linking Russian exporters to African markets via a route through Nhava Sheva.
