  • Caleb M Fundanga: Moderating the Impact of the Global Meltdown on the Zambian Financial System
    Caleb M Fundanga: Moderating the impact of the global meltdown on the Zambian financial system Speech by Dr Caleb M Fundanga, Governor of the Bank of Zambia, at the official opening of Standard Chartered Bank Zambia Limited Ody’s Excel Centre, Lusaka, 22 April 2009. * * * The Chairman, Standard Chartered Bank Zambia Limited, Mr Michael Mundashi The Managing Director of Standard Chartered Bank Zambia Limited, Mrs Mizinga Melu Distinguished Guests Members of the Press And may I simply say Ladies and Gentlemen I am pleased to be here today at the official opening of the new Excel Centre of Standard Chartered Bank Zambia Limited. This event is taking place at a time when our economy is faced with challenges emanating from the impact of the global financial and economic crisis. Although the Zambian financial system is not fully integrated with the world’s financial markets, the impact of the crisis is already clear. Mr Chairman, the financial turmoil has resulted in a reduction in projected global economic growth and a decline in demand for commodities. As a commodity exporting country, Zambia has experienced a decline in her export receipts due to the decline in commodity prices reflecting a weak demand for these commodities. The declining export earnings and reversals in portfolio investments have been reflected in the depreciation of the local currency and consequent inflationary pressures towards the end of 2008. Ladies and Gentlemen, the financial turmoil facing the world today has affected all of us and we as regulators are trying to ensure stability in the financial markets. In this regard, the Bank of Zambia has put in place measures to moderate the impact of the global meltdown on the Zambian financial system.
