"BOZ Implements Monetary Policy Adjustment to Counter Inflationary Pressure"

"Shift in Maize Procurement: FRA Advocates Direct Purchase from Farmers"

Image
In a strategic move aimed at promoting self-sufficiency and bolstering the agricultural ecosystem, the Food Reserve Agency (FRA) has announced a significant alteration in its approach to maize distribution.

The rationale behind this paradigm shift lies in the FRA's commitment to encourage millers across the nation to diversify their sources of maize procurement.

Such a strategic move is envisioned to ensure the sustained continuity of their business operations.

"MCD Takes Action to Revoke Non-Compliant Mining Rights"

"ZRA's Vigilant Stand Against Undervaluation: Safeguarding Zambia's Revenue Integrity"

The Zambia Revenue Authority (ZRA) has taken decisive action by intercepting a South African truck transporting an assortment of alcoholic beverages that had been intentionally undervalued. This action signifies a significant step in the ZRA's ongoing campaign against tax evasion, aimed at ensuring the government's rightful share of revenue.

However, upon careful scrutiny, it became apparent that the actual value was significantly higher, totaling K1.8 million.
