IPEC sounds alarm over governance failures, pension fund fragmentation insurance24.co.zw/ipec-sounds-al…

The new IPEC Amendment Act, enacted in April 2026, marks a major shift for Zimbabwe’s pensions and insurance sector. Key reforms include stronger supervisory powers, accreditation of service providers, enhanced member protection and expanded regulatory oversight#ZAPF2026 @IPECZW

“We cannot all build our own railway line to Bulawayo.” IPEC is pushing for consolidation, shared ICT infrastructure and improved administration efficiency across pension funds to reduce duplication, improve scale and strengthen service delivery for members.#ZAPF51 @IPECZW

IPEC says 97% of Zimbabwe’s pension funds are Defined Contribution schemes, making trustee oversight, transparency, arm’s length transactions and value for money critical for protecting members’ retirement outcomes. #ZAPF51 #ZAPF2026 @IPECZW @ETimesZw

Zimbabwe is not capital poor. Domestic capital exceeds US$26 billion, with sovereign-linked assets under Mutapa estimated at US$16 billion. The challenge is deployment, intermediation and rebuilding trust in long-term investment markets- Nyazema #ZAPF2026

The future of African growth lies in effective financial intermediation — organising domestic savings at scale and deploying them into productive national assets. This is how pension capital can move from preservation to transformation-Nyazema #ZAPF2026 #PensionFunds

The challenge is not availability of money — it is mobilising and deploying it productively into national development. Lawrence Nyazema#ZAPF2026 #AfricanCapital
