Keynote Address at the Official Opening of the Zambia Impact Investment Summit Bank of Zambia Governor, Mr. Denny Kalyalya, noted, "The Bank of Zambia, in collaboration with partners, is working to develop a Credit Guarantee Scheme that will enable more SMEs to access finance, as the lack of collateral is currently a major hindrance. BoZ will provide the funds for the guarantee scheme through a special-purpose vehicle." He further stated that the Bank of Zambia is among the few central banks that have a Green Finance Policy. Prospero CEO, Ms. Mutumboi Mundia, highlighted, "One of our proudest achievements through the NABII Zambia Impact Investment Summit platform has been supporting Investment Matchmaking efforts. Together, we've facilitated substantial capital inflows to local small and growing businesses, creating opportunities for #Entrepreneurs across Zambia to scale, innovate, and contribute to our #NationalDevelopment goals." The National Advisory Board Chairperson, Mr Sumunza Muyangana, emphasized that Impact Investment is a vehicle to address challenges around #ClimateChange and #YouthUnemployment, with great potential to provide opportunities for Zambia's young and dynamic demography. This summit aims to drive lasting solutions through meaningful engagements and conversations for a sustainable future. #ZIIS2024 #SustainableZambia #ZambiaInvestment #Entrepreneurship #Prospero #Innovation #ClimateAction #YouthEmpowerment #FutureOfZambia #ImpactInvesting
