At the Investing in African Mining Indaba, the National Pension Scheme Authority (NAPSA) reaffirmed its role not only as Zambia’s largest institutional investor but also as a driver of job creation and employment security.

NAPSA Director General Muyangwa Muyangwa emphasized that investments in ventures such as ZCCM-IH are delivering strong returns while stimulating industrial growth and creating employment opportunities.

Pension fund investments channel capital into mining, infrastructure, and industrial projects, which directly expand Zambia’s labour market.

By safeguarding members’ contributions, NAPSA ensures that workers’ retirement savings are secure while simultaneously unlocking new jobs for current and future generations.

Pension-backed investments strengthen Zambia’s economic resilience, which stabilizes industries and sustains long-term employment.

As Zambia pursues the 3 million tonnes copper production target by 2031, NAPSA’s financing role will support mining expansion, logistics, and supply chains  all of which generate direct and indirect jobs.

Beyond mining, NAPSA’s readiness to collaborate with credible investors opens opportunities in manufacturing, agriculture, and energy, diversifying employment prospects for Zambians.

President Hakainde Hichilema was assured of NAPSA’s commitment to align investments with Zambia’s development agenda, ensuring that growth translates into jobs, skills, and improved livelihoods.

Pension funds are being positioned as long-term capital anchors, helping Zambia reduce reliance on short-term financing while building a sustainable employment base.
