Zambia’s economy to double post 2026 general elections says HH. - mwebantu.com/?p=65729




Zambia grew 3.8 per cent in 2025. Every major institution overestimated it. The budget assumed 6.6 per cent. The IMF projected 5.8. The Bank of Zambia modelled 5.6. Even the March 2026 staff visit, the final estimate before the data, overshot by 0.7 percentage points. But the miss is not the story. The story is where growth went and where it did not. Agriculture grew 51.1 per cent. Mining added 5.6. Transport, manufacturing, and construction all contributed. The economy is not stagnant. But wholesale and retail trade contracted 11.2 per cent, the deepest in at least five years. The Stanbic Bank Zambia PMI, surveying approximately 400 firms, never broke convincingly above 50. Output contracted at firm level in eight of fourteen months. Firms hired for expansion that did not arrive, then cut prices at the fastest pace in four years to sustain volume they could not afford to lose. Growth happened. It did not spread. The new Canary Compass Zambia Macro Note traces the full sectoral picture: the Q4 deceleration, the wholesale and retail contraction, the ICT measurement question, the power story, and the three-phase Kwacha effect. The projections overestimated because the models assumed diffusion that the structure did not deliver. Link below. canarycompass.com/p/zambia-macro…


The Mines Minister announced recently that Zambia produced close to 900,000 tonnes of copper in a single year; we are talking about a strategic mineral for electric cars, renewable energy and global industry. That is roughly $7 to 8 billion worth of copper from one mineral alone. Paradoxically, in the same period, the government still needs to borrow about K21 billion (roughly $800 to 900 million) to finance the national budget. I keep arguing that that cannot be the fullest arch of progress. What exactly is our participation in all this value, coz when you look carefully, we don’t make the cables, we don’t make the batteries, we don’t control the commodity trading, we don’t set the prices, we don’t even own the distribution networks. All we do is dig, export, borrow, and then celebrate production numbers. And I’m not saying employment and mineral royalties are not important; they are, but for a country that produces one of the world’s most important minerals, surely our role in the value chain cannot just end at digging and exporting the raw material. At some point, we have to move from being just producers to being participants in processing, in manufacturing, in trading, in ownership etc. Otherwise, increased production will just mean increased extraction without a corresponding increase in national wealth.



ZP has never failed 😂😂 Who is this yama who was bundled like a saka ya moloshi kumbuyo ya van... 😭😭😭😭 Ok this is low key embarrassing 🫣

There are no Bembas from the Copperbelt. ALL Bembas in this country are from the Northern province. Even Luapula has no Bembas.
