UPND Alliance Declares 2025 a Year of National Recovery
The UPND Alliance has proclaimed 2025 a pivotal year for national recovery, emphasizing the restoration of the rule of law and economic stabilization as key achievements of the administration.
In a recent media engagement in Lusaka, spokesperson Leslie Chikuse noted that Zambia has shifted from a period of fear to one of productivity and peace, with markets and bus stations now free from intimidation and illegal fees.
He highlighted the successful management of agriculture, resulting in a bumper harvest of 3.7 million metric tonnes of maize, despite earlier drought challenges, attributing this success to timely support for farmers and climate-smart policies.
Additionally, Chikuse pointed to a decrease in inflation to 10.9% and recent credit rating upgrades from Fitch and S&P as signs of improved economic health. He also welcomed President Hakainde Hichilema’s declaration of December 29 as an annual public holiday.
