Under the theme "Celebrating Governance Excellence: Reflecting on Corporate Stewardship and Compliance in 2025," we welcomed listed company leadership, regulators, institutional investors, brokers and governance practitioners to reflect on the state of corporate governance in Zambia's capital market and on the role of disclosure, integrity and timely communication in sustaining investor confidence.
The tone was set early:
โก๏ธ Our CEO, Mr. Nicholas Kabaso, reminded us that "strong corporate governance lies at the heart of credible, resilient, and investor-attractive capital markets."
โก๏ธ Delivering the opening remarks on behalf of our LuSE Board Chairperson, Director Choongo Chibawe put it plainly: "Regulation alone does not build markets. Trust does. Dialogue does. Collaboration and a shared vision do."
โก๏ธ And in closing, our Lusaka Clearing and Settlement Agency (LCSA) Chairperson, Mr. Maulu Hamunjele, affirmed that "strong corporate governance and sustainability practices remain essential to building resilient institutions and deepening our capital market."
As ESG and sustainability considerations increasingly shape boardroom strategy and investor decisions, LuSE remains committed to convening the right conversations; moving these discussions from procedural to purposeful.
