Economist, Kelvin Chisanga, has commended government’s commitment to leveraging on the mining sector to generate revenue and stabilize the economy.
Last week, Chief Government Spokesperson, Cornelius Mweetwa, announced that government intends to capitalize on the mining sector as a “low-hanging fruit” to maximize revenue, particularly in light of policy changes by the United States of America regarding funding for Africa.
Speaking in an interview with RCV News in Lusaka, Mr. Chisanga emphasized that prioritizing local economic policies over reliance on foreign aid is crucial for sustainable growth.
“There is a need to create a conducive environment, plan ahead, and adapt to dynamic economic factors,” said Mr. Chisanga.
He further stressed the importance of revisiting and refining economic policies to foster long-term national economic growth.
