Through the 2023 Budget, the Government has stirred the investment environment rightly, like the Angel of the Lord would do at the pool of Siloam. It is up to each of us to jump in and be healed. #Budget2023 #ZIPAR

@Miselo_Bwalya notes that the govt continues to increase allocation to the social sectors intended to safeguard livelihoods. This is at the backdrop of the improvement in the fiscal space following the @IMFNews program. @ZiparInfo @unicefzambia @UNDPZambia #2023NationalBudget

Change to mineral royalty structure benefiting the mines but we need to assess whether they really lead to increased capital investments. Can FQM's investment response be generalised? #ZIPAR #Budget2023

Significant shift of resources from debt servicing to growth and social sectors in 2023, thanks to the IMF deal. #Budget2023 #ZIPAR

Reduction in Budget is partly as result of reduction in interest payments due to IMF deal. #ZIPAR

[Zali Chikuba @zchikuba]

Fiscal deficit target of 7.7 % acceptable because we need to fix the economy. They key is "friendly borrowing terms"
