Zanaco Applauds ZDA for Pioneering Inaugural IZIC 2025
Zanaco has lauded the Zambia Development Agency (ZDA) for its bold vision and leadership in organizing the first-ever Invest Zambia International Conference (IZIC) 2025, a strategic event aimed at showcasing Zambia as a premier investment destination.
During a symbolic handover ceremony, Zanaco Chief Executive Officer, Mukwandi Chibesakunda, presented a K500,000 cheque in support of the initiative. She described IZIC as a timely and transformative platform that will enable Zambia to capitalize on its vast natural resources, growing youthful population, and strategic regional positioning.
“This is more than an event—it is a call to action,” Mrs. Chibesakunda stated. “With Zambia recording USD9.83 billion in actualised investments and generating over 40,000 jobs last year, we are optimistic about the trajectory our nation is taking. Zanaco is proud to be part of this journey.”
She reaffirmed Zanaco’s readiness to offer tailored financial solutions that support both local and international investors, leveraging the bank’s nationwide presence and innovative service portfolio.
ZDA Director General Albert Halwampa thanked Zanaco for the partnership, calling it a boost to the country’s investment agenda. He highlighted IZIC as a cornerstone of Zambia’s future economic development, enabling vital engagements through B2B and B2G interactions, high-level panels, and exhibitions.
“Zambia is experiencing renewed investor confidence, thanks to stable policies and strong leadership,” said Mr. Halwampa. “The IZIC is a strategic response to amplify this momentum and connect Zambia with global opportunities.”
