𝐙𝐚𝐦𝐛𝐢𝐚 𝐍𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐅𝐮𝐥𝐥 𝐁𝐮𝐲𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐨𝐟 𝐑𝐞𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐄𝐮𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐨𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐬 𝐈𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐬 𝐑𝐮𝐬𝐡 𝐭𝐨 𝐓𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 In a development announced in London, Zambia has secured an overwhelming response to its tender offer for its restructured 2053 Eurobond, with investors tendering US$1.34 billion worth of notes, representing 97.85% of the outstanding amount. The buyback forms part of Zambia's ongoing debt management strategy and is being funded through new financing arrangements. The strong participation signals growing investor confidence in Zambia's credit story following its debt restructuring. Once the transaction settles, the government expects to redeem the small balance of remaining notes through a clean-up call, effectively retiring the entire bond issue. The offer values the notes at approximately US$828.68 per US$1,000 principal amount, excluding accrued interest, with settlement expected from mid-June. The near-complete tender marks another significant milestone in Zambia's post-restructuring debt strategy, simplifying its external debt profile while demonstrating strong investor engagement in international capital markets. #Debtmanagement #Eurobond #FiscalPolicy #FinancialInsight #Get2Know

To enhance market development and information dissemination, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) intensified its strategic coordination of the Capital Markets Master Plan (CMMP), specifically by hosting the Public Private Dialogue – Capital Markets Technical Sub-committee (PPDF-CMTS) to address market constraints and identify practical solutions for sustainable growth. The Commission also led extensive investor education and financial literacy initiatives, notably spearheading Financial Literacy Week 2026 activities in the Eastern and Western Provinces through school outreach, provincial debates, and community exhibitions in Chipata and Mongu. These efforts were further supported by a monthly townhall meeting series and a strengthened Fraud and Scams Awareness Campaign, both designed to empower the public with accurate information, promote responsible investing, and safeguard market integrity against unlicensed financial schemes #Captialmarkets #Financialinsight #Get2know

A standout achievement noted during her reaction was the expansion of the "billion-dollar club" on the Lusaka Securities Exchange Plc, with Zambia Sugar and Airtel Zambia PLC joining the ranks to bring the total to four companies with billion-dollar market capitalizations. Regarding strategic initiatives, Ms. Sichone highlighted the positive trajectory of the Capital Markets Master Plan (CMMP), for which the SEC serves as the secretariat. Currently, six out of the ten key performance indicators (KPIs) are positive, signaling that the long-term roadmap for market development is well underway. She also shared that the Commission is actively working toward MSCI Index classification by benchmarking against other countries and collaborating with the Ministry of Finance to address necessary macroeconomic and market requirements. Finally, Ms. Sichone addressed the critical area of investor protection, noting that the SEC has intensified enforcement actions against unlicensed and illegal investment schemes, particularly online scams. She cautioned the public to be "smart investors" by verifying the licensing status of providers through the SEC, Bank of Zambia, or the Pensions and Insurance Authority (PIA). A specific "red flag" she identified is the use of high-pressure tactics, such as being told an investment opportunity will expire within an hour, which she noted is a strong indicator of a potential scam. Despite these challenges, the Commission remains highly optimistic that the market's positive growth trend will persist #CapitalMarkets #FinancialInsight #Get2Know
