The desk brief
On 17 September 2026 Zambia’s cabinet approved the Budget Policy Concept Paper to guide preparation of the 2027 Annual Budget and the 2027–2029 Medium-Term Budget Plan, establishing the government’s macro-fiscal priorities (growth under the Grow Zambia Agenda, fiscal consolidation, debt sustainability and climate resilience).
The cabinet approval narrows headline fiscal uncertainty by setting policy direction for revenue, spending and financing sequencing, but does not fix headline numbers or financing instruments. Market reaction will depend on the detailed Green Paper, Budget Call Circular and subsequent fiscal targets (deficit, revenue measures, and planned borrowing), which determine Eurobond spread and domestic yield effects.
Ministry of Finance issues the Green Paper/Budget Call Circular and later presents the consolidated 2027 Budget to the National Assembly.
