For the best part of this year, the Kwacha, Zambia's currency has been doing exceptionally well. Some economists have described it as among the best performing currencies against the dollar. This might not be good news for exports, which will be more expensive to buy in other countries. But it has been welcomed by Zambians who are paying lower prices for food and services than this time last year. So, while many countries around the world are facing a cost of living crisis, is Zambia managing to buck the trend? #AfricaDaily

Listen to the Sun. May 29, 2022 special edition of the Pan-African Journal: Worldwide Radio Broadcast hosted by Abayomi Azikiwe, editor of the Pan-African News Wire. This is part two of the African Liberation Weekend. The program features our PANW report with dispatches on the announced sanctions by the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) government against neighboring Rwanda over the status of rebel attacks in the east of the country; a Sudanese woman, Amira Osman Hamed, has been chosen for a human rights award; the Malawian currency, the Kwacha, decreased 25 percent in value in recent weeks; and the African Union summit discussed the crisis in food security on the continent. In the second hour we look back on the life, times and contributions of Congolese revolutionary leader Prime Minister Patrice Lumumba and the circumstances surrounding his assassination. In addition, we examine the unanswered questions involving the death of former United Nations Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold in then then Northern Rhodesia (now Zambia) in a mysterious airline crash. Finally, we feature an archived audio report on the failed Bay of Pigs invasion in Cuba during April 1961.

Kwacha: The recent kwacha gains confirm our view that market sentiment is still a key driver for the currency's performance. Relative to other economies on the continent, the Zambian economy is viewed positively despite facing the same global risks such as food and fuel inflation.

Egypt: Urban inflation has rallied to 6.6%y/y in September on the back of higher food prices. The price surge was driven by the prices of food which shot up by 10.6%y/y. Over our forecast period (2021 -2023) we expect inflation to continue on a steady upward path, spurred by factors such as a pickup in economic activity, the recent adjustment to minimum wages and elevated commodity prices.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Rorshok's weekly ten-minute update of stuff happening in Malawi. First up, 326,400 doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine arrived in the country through Kamuzu International Airport this week. They were bought by Germany and France through the Covax facility. Malawi's tourism efforts received a bit of good news this week. It was announced the country had secured 800,000 US dollars, which is about 660 million Kwacha, from the African Development Bank (AfDB) to help propel growth of the Tourism Sector in the country. And finally, the Malawi Police Service (MPS) is reminding revellers heading for the much anticipated Sand Music Festival in Mangochi to be security-conscious. The annual festival will run from Friday the 1st through to Sunday the 3rd of October 2021 at Sunbird Nkopola Lodge in the lakeshore district.This year's Sand Music Festival has performances from international artists such as Makhadzi from South Africa, Mr P of the P-Square from Nigeria and Morgan Heritage from Jamaica.

Rorshok's weekly ten-minute update of stuff happening in Malawi. First up, the Malawi Energy Regulatory Authority (MERA) has said it is monitoring fuel price movements on the international market before it moves to adjust prices. Fuel prices have remained volatile on the international market with the Kwacha losing traction with other major trading currencies, making price hikes at the pump likely. From one uneasy increase to another...Out of 2,475 people screened in Dedza recently, 2,099 have been diagnosed with scabies. This development is obviously of increasing concern to Health Authorities in the district. An additional 376 people were also diagnosed with other skin diseases. Good news for the truly hard working. The Deputy Minister of Labour said this week that 81 of the 450 names of ex-miners who worked in mines in South Africa between 1970 and 1988, whose records of service have been retrieved by the South African government, will start receiving their pension by next month.

Kenya: The country's Court of Appeal has rejected government's appeal to make fundamental changes to the constitution.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Namibia: Private sector credit extension growth remains low at 2.7% y/y at the end of June. Over the past few months, credit extension has moved sideways as the economic performance remains lackluster.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Egypt: Last Friday, the Egypt's Fuel Automatic Pricing Committee adjusted fuel prices upwards by about 3% to EGP6.75, EGP8 and EGP9 for 80, 92 and 95 octane gasoline.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Cote d'Ivoire: the IMF's conclusion of its Article IV Consultation saw the fund indicating that the economy will grow by 6% and 6.5% in 2021 and 2022. This is broadly in line with our forecast of 5.8% and 6.2% over the same period. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Namibia: Annual inflation in June rose to 4.1%, marginally up from 3.8% in May. Despite the low growth environment, inflation pushed up on account of food and transport costs, as fuel and food prices have increased globally. We estimate that inflation will average 4% in 2021. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Zambia: The total cumulative trade volumes shot up by 84.7% compared to the same period last year. On a monthly basis, however, we note a decline in the trade surplus by 31.9%m/m, and the decline in export earnings from refined copper by 10.1%m/m. Import demand, lifted slightly bolstered by demand for general raw materials.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Côte d'Ivoire: Cocoa farmers have reported improved rainfall across the country which should boost overall production and exports over the course of this year. The improved rainfall has allayed fears of drought related concerns across most farmers. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Zambia witnesses a rise in women candidates for the 2021 candidates, this weekend we feature 2 professional women who have stepped up for public office; Grace Natasha Namunyola is a freelance journalist who used to write for different private media and business organizations, she is the Socialist Party candidate for member ofparliament in Kwacha constituency. Grace obtained a Diploma in Journalism from Copperstone University.  Mwinga Sichula is the Patriotic Front (PF) candidate for Councillor of the Mulungusgi Ward 12 in Mandevu constituency. She has held several positions in different organizations and holds a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from the University of Hull in England.  

Nigeria: The first quarter GDP numbers showed that the economy expanded by 0.5%y/y, supported largely by growth in the non-oil sector that came in at 0.8%y/y. Meanwhile, the OPEC production cut commitments, led to a contraction in the oil sector which printed -2.2% y/y. Earlier this year, we stated that the economy is likely to continue its path of recovery, ending the year at 2.5%. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mozambique: We expect the MPC to keep MIMO rate unchanged 13.50%. The inflation trend shows that inflation may have peaked in March at 5.8%y/y as it eased to 5.2%y/y in April.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kenya: Moody's yesterday affirmed the B2 rating and retained the negative outlook. The agency recognized the steps the country is making to increase revenue and reduce its fiscal deficit but noted that its “lackluster” track record in delivering fiscal consolidation in the past is a major risk. In its forecasts it expects the fiscal deficit to contract from 8.7% of GDP in FY21 to 6.8% in FY23. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kenya: The sovereign is seeking a strategy for liability management that supports its efforts for fiscal consolidation while ensuring that it meets its obligatory payments to its creditors. As a result of this, it has sought the help of a sovereign debt advisor to assist with the nitty gritty details of the process and ahead of the country's intention to return to the Eurobond market later this year. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mozambique: Inflation in Mozambique continued to rise in March on the back of rising food prices and higher utility costs. The two components, which account for 39.2% of the CPI basket, have been on an upward trend this year. A weaker currency during the most part of the first quarter further exacerbated price dynamics in the country.

Nigeria: As expected, Nigeria's apex bank kept benchmark interest rates on hold at 11.5%, as the economy continues to recover. In line with our view, the central bank will continue to monitor developments in the economy while keeping rates flat for the rest of the year. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Botswana: Botswana's annual price growth edged up to 2.4% y/y in February from 2.3% y/y a month prior. This slight step-up was as a result of higher costs associated with food and beverages, recreational associated items and transport inflation. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mozambique: Risks have tilted to the downside with respect to our growth forecast as regional countries continue to contend with coronavirus variants. The announcement by AstraZenaca this past weekend, that stated that its vaccine only offers limited protection against the South African coronavirus variant, has dampened our recovery view in markets such as Mozambique, where the virus has been detected.

Namibia: We do not expect the monetary policy committee (MPC) to cut interest rates but rather leave the main repo rate at current levels of 3.75%. Risks towards a cut have increased given the latest private sector credit extension numbers (PSCE) that declined to 1.4% y/y in October. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

President Edgar Lungu on Thursday said Zambia’s expenditure is expected to rise by approximately 20 billion kwacha ($1.11 billion) this year as the local currency weakens, piling more pressure on a nation already struggling with huge debt. Lungu said in a national address External debt service will rise by 8.7 billion kwacha because of a sharp fall in the currency. Zambia has $3 billion of Eurobonds outstanding and owes $2 billion to commercial banks, $2 billion to the International Monetary Fund and World Bank, and a further $3 billion to China.

Prof John Weeks, SOAS University of London Zambia has a small economy with a foreign exchange market dominated by large banks and mining companies. Copper accounts for over 80% of the country's exports. This combination, a small country, a forex market with large private participants and one dominant export, implies that the Kwacha does not trade in a market of rice takers. All the large private trades are aware that their actions have predictable and measurable consequences. This affects the manner in which they form their expectations. This study employed quantitative and qualitative techniques to explain how those expectations are formulated. the purpose of the study was to provide the Bank of Zambia with insights to improve its exchange rate management.

Arg dezimiert machen wir uns heute auf, in die Welt des schönen Spiels. Basti ist noch in Florida und Enzo hat im neuen Heim noch kein Internet. So kann man doch nicht arbeiten. Aber David und Axel sprechen dennoch über viele obskure Dinge, haben Film-Empfehlungen und fordern Freiheit für Maskottchen, feiern Poldis letztes Tor in der Nationalmannschaft, sind depressiv ob ihrer Clubs und verlosen am Ende ohne Hilfe einen Glaskuchen. Alles in allem ist es diesmal etwas kürzer, was aber nur daran liegt, dass wir uns den ewigen Zorn von Basti nicht zuziehen wollten ein Tippspiel ohne ihn zu machen. Wir wünschen viel Spaß!

Madame Chung is happy to present her latest offerings, a guest mix from two of her personal intergalactic allies, Boxmouse and Kwacha. Issue 2//Deep Boogie comes to us from two London based DJs spinning vinyl into a 45min jaunt through a carnival of jump-up bass line music, on to the shores of deep meditation, right through to the hip twisting struts of disco cuts. Rooted throughout in deep striding bass lines, this mix flows eclectically through pensive electronic stabs of techno through to the sweet abandonment of shingling synths. Connected through a web of hidden relevance. The tracks in this mix are chosen and mixed for the adventurous listener, with an ear towards the Deep Boogie. Madame Chung hopes that you are enjoying these glorious days and meditating at least 3 times a day and drinking lots of water. DOWNLOAD LINK: http://www.mediafire.com/?3x3p3m2y19mrzlg
