ZCCM-IH Showcases Zambia’s Mining Investment Growth Ahead of Paris Capital Markets Day
ZCCM-IH Highlights US$12 Billion Mining Investment Surge and Rising Market Value Ahead of Paris Investor Day
Ahead of the ZCCM-IH Capital Markets & Investor Day scheduled for Friday, 19 June 2026, in Paris, France, a delegation led by Board Chairperson Phesto Musonda paid a courtesy visit to the Zambian Embassy in France.
During the engagement, Mr Musonda commended the Government of the Republic of Zambia for implementing key reforms that have strengthened the mining sector, attracted approximately US$12 billion in investment, and unlocked significant opportunities in the energy industry.
He noted that these reforms have been central to stabilizing the sector and restoring investor confidence, enabling sustainable growth across Zambia’s mining and energy value chains.
“The reforms championed by the Government have attracted approximately US$12 billion into the sector and unlocked critical opportunities in energy, without which stability and growth would not have been possible,” he stated.
Strong Growth in Market Capitalisation
Mr Musonda further highlighted that the improved investment climate has significantly enhanced ZCCM-IH’s financial position. Over the past four years, the company’s market capitalisation has grown from approximately US$300 million to US$1.4 billion, supported by a successful debt restructuring process that strengthened balance sheet stability and investor confidence.
He also emphasized the importance of France as a strategic investment partner, noting ZCCM-IH’s listing on Euronext Access and its efforts to expand visibility among European investors.
“ZCCM-IH’s story is Zambia’s story. No other listed company offers investors such a diversified portfolio of Zambian mineral and energy assets within a single balance sheet,” he said.
Strengthening Zambia–France Investment Relations
Zambian Ambassador to France, Judith Mulenga, welcomed the upcoming Capital Markets & Investor Day, describing it as an important platform for deepening economic cooperation and attracting high-quality investment from France and across Europe.
She stressed that such initiatives play a key role in positioning Zambia as a competitive and attractive investment destination.
“Events like the Capital Markets & Investor Day are essential in positioning Zambia as a preferred investment destination.
By facilitating direct engagement between investors and key stakeholders, we build confidence, promote transparency, and attract quality investment needed to drive sustainable economic growth, industrialisation, job creation, and value addition,” she said.
Showcasing Zambia’s Mining Ambitions
The Capital Markets & Investor Day will bring together shareholders, institutional investors, analysts, financiers, and strategic partners to discuss ZCCM-IH’s growth strategy and Zambia’s broader mining and energy ambitions, including its target of increasing annual copper production to three million metric tonnes by 2031.
The event will be held physically in Paris and broadcast globally via the Euronext Engage platform, underscoring ZCCM-IH’s commitment to international investor engagement while reinforcing Zambia’s position as one of Africa’s leading mining investment destinations.
