President Hakainde Hichilema joined the Economics Association of Zambia (EAZ) to celebrate the launch of the Oxford Handbook of the Zambian Economy, a groundbreaking publication providing an in-depth analysis of Zambia’s economic landscape. The President expressed gratitude to the authors and editors for their work, noting the book’s potential to serve as a valuable resource for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners committed to Zambia’s economic progress.
During his remarks, President Hichilema underscored the importance of fostering a positive mindset among Zambians, encouraging citizens to embrace hard work as a foundation for sustainable development. “Our people’s commitment to productivity and diligence will be central to driving economic growth in all sectors,” he stated.
The President also outlined his administration’s priorities following Zambia’s recent debt restructuring, stressing a renewed focus on increasing productivity across key sectors. He emphasized that prudent resource management remains essential to achieving economic growth and improving citizens’ quality of life.
The launch of the Oxford Handbook of the Zambian Economy is expected to enhance understanding of Zambia’s economic challenges and opportunities, equipping stakeholders with the insights needed to contribute to the nation’s development.
This man talks very well about the economy but delivers nothing. The economy we want and what he promised was fuel at k7, mealie meal at k50, fertilizer at k250, no loadshedding. What he has done is renovate his has house at the expense of Zambians and increased the cost of living, borrowed more than PF and continued selling mines.
@kci, the only sensible things you’ve mentioned are loadshedding and increasing cost of living. He promised heaven for the two, but has failed to deliver even purgatory! With no solutions in sight especially for crippling blackouts, there can never be any economy to talk about. Even net-metering is all talk and remains a bridge-too-far, yaaba.
Listening to the Bank Of Zambia Governor Kalyalya ………its is clear that the economy is in a mess. Kalyalya has increased the cost of borrowing. Meaning less money available to investors who will be scared of borrowing. Meaning reduced capacity for production of goods and services.
I lost my job and there was no hope for me. I suffered looking for a job and luckily I came across Mr Bernie Doran on a review about Forex, NFT, Binary, and Crypto trade. I borrowed $1000 from a colleague to invest with his trade platform , thank goodness I made a profit of $12,000 on the first week, reinvested 5000, and withdrew the remaining balance directly to my bank account. I was able to pay my friend, and convinced her to invest as well. I’m very grateful to him for helping me
manage my trading account. I will advise all of you who want recover your lost funds and to invest for the future and a better tomorrow should start with Mr Bernie Doran, he has the best signals and strategies on the trade market

Who’s the author of the book? The mention of Oxford might have excited our man because he’s got an inferiority complex. I’ve not seen him launch books written by locals. Last time he travelled to SA at government cost to launch a book written by his mzungu friend. Most of what he says now don’t make sense
Horman Chitonge, Caleb Fundanga, Mundia Kabinga, Vera Songwe
About $200 for 896 pages, so something for those with a lot of money and spare time kkkk
Meanwhile how is the economy doing in the non-theoretical space of reality?
The President’s sermons on the economy have devolved into mere drivel. It’s embarrassing to reflect on how easily we were misled by his charlatan routine.
