With a chuckle, he assured everyone that these were just part of his job, building professional relationships as Zambia\u2019s Chief marketing officer \u201cVice president this social media almost put me in trouble with my wife you know Kristalina, managing director we growing to be very good friends.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/a>\u201cSo every time I\u2019m going out to these meetings, they see Kristalina coming to greet me she hugs me, I hug her so they post… Ah! Ba Mutinta trouble yayamba.\u201d You May Like<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are inciting my wife to riot when I am just doing my job,\u201d President Hichilema said jokingly with a smile.<\/p>\n

He said the relationships he has built including one with World Bank President Ajay Bunga, are for there purposes of assisting the nation sort out external challenges beyond the country\u2019s control.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the typical Zambian, every friendship, you read something which is not there. Ah Ah, Aikona man, don\u2019t bring trouble in my house,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

<\/a>\u201cThese are colleagues we are cultivating relationships, (it is) very professional.that is why even before the board meeting met we already knew that we have done our part and we will pass the test,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the World Bank yesterday, announced that its executive board of directors approved a US$125 million International Development Association (IDA) grant for the Zambia Second Macroeconomic Stability, Growth and Competitiveness Development Policy Financing (DPF.)<\/p>\n

This is the second operation in a programmatic series aimed at helping Zambia restore macroeconomic stability and debt sustainability and promote private-sector led growth.<\/p>\n

It builds on the success of the first DPF approved in October 2022 and is part of the World Bank\u2019s multi-sectoral support to help Zambia emerge from the debt crisis and shift to a more sustainable and inclusive economic growth path.<\/p>\n
