AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Debt Management: Zambia has started a buyback of its $1.36bn 2053 Eurobond, offering $780 per $1,000 tendered by 5 June (then $740 later), funded by a $600m AfDB loan plus domestic resources—aimed at avoiding a coupon step-up and lowering future debt costs. Energy Transition: Africa’s power build-out is shifting fast toward solar, wind and battery storage, with Zambia linked to a $1.5bn China-backed energy deal featuring 300MW solar, 300MW wind and 300MW coal. Power & Markets: Zambia wrapped up AfDB Annual Meetings with renewed investor confidence, citing progress on debt restructuring, fiscal reforms and inflation stabilisation. Digital Inclusion: IHS Towers says it cut emissions intensity by 21.4% in 2025 and trained 140,000 students in digital skills, including STEM training for learners in Zambia. Governance & Enforcement: The ACC arrested a Mulobezi WDC member over K200,000 conflict-of-interest charges, while DEC in Central Province intercepted a bus with 3.1kg cannabis and codeine cough syrup. Local Economy: Zambia’s informal traders and market infrastructure continue to attract donor support, including Switzerland’s $200,000 push for safer trading sheds in the region.
