Zambia Stock Rally Seen Spurring IPOs, New Gold ETF in 2026

Zambia’s stock market is preparing to host several new stock listings this year, as well as a gold-linked ETF that aims to tap into the precious metals rally.

The bourse, Africa’s top performer this year, also plans to simplify some rules to ease market access, and attract a broader base of issuers and investors, according to Nicholas Kabaso, chief executive officer of the Lusaka Securities Exchange Plc.
