CEC, LuSE sponsor capital markets indaba
By Mast Reporter
THE Copperbelt Energy Corporation Plc (CEC) has partnered with the Lusaka Securities Exchange (LuSE) as a gold sponsor of the inaugural Zambia Capital Markets Conference and Awards 2025 scheduled for October.
As part of the partnership, the company has contributed K250,000 to support the event, which will bring together policy-makers, investors and corporate leaders to discuss opportunities and challenges in Zambia’s financial ecosystem.
CEC’s head of corporate communication and investor relations Verona Mwila said the company had a unique position as a product of Zambia’s evolving capital market reforms.
Mwila highlighted CEC’s pioneering issuance of Zambia’s first-ever Green Bond as a milestone that reflects both innovation and investor confidence in the local exchange.
“CEC is a beneficiary of the reforms in Zambia’s capital markets, evidenced by the successful listing of Zambia’s first-ever Green Bond. Through partnering with the LuSE on this inaugural event, we look forward to the benefits the conference and awards will bring for present and future investors, showcasing the immense potential of Zambia’s capital market,” she said.
Mwila was speaking when she handed over the cheque.
The conference and awards, set to take place in the first week of October, will recognise excellence in capital market participation and innovation.
Since CEC’s listing on the Lusaka Securities Exchange, LuSE has remained a key partner in supporting the company’s growth journey on the exchange.
Lusaka Securities Exchange Plc chief executive officer Nicholas Kabaso said the conference would be more than an event.
“It’s a movement to elevate our capital markets to attract investments and to inspire confidence in the promise of Zambia,” Kabaso said.
“Together let’s harness the power of capital markets to fuel Zambia’s economic transformation.”
Some of the personalities to be awarded will be company CEOs, secretaries, stock brokers and the media.
