By Derrick Sinjela  SIMATAA Simataa believes it is a herculean task expecting Zambian banks to become relevant to ordinary people on account of their heritage. However, on his part, Kelvin Chisanga, an economist and communication specialist has confidence in the local financial sector, serving the individual and collective interests of all citizens.   When reached for a comment on the matter at hand, Mr. Simataa doubted the suitability of the banks serving citizens in an eight-pointed argument.   Said Sims Simataa:“Great! No they can’t. Reasons: 1. Banks have a colonial hangover. Sadly so called indigenous banks have fallen prey. They...

Notice: Undefined index: catFilterList in /home/zambi/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-likes/api.php on line 243

THE role of nuclear in the global transition to clean energy remains a controversial issue. In terms of finance, a fundamental question is whether the use of sustainable mechanisms like green bonds for nuclear projects is justified. Obviously, the universal solution is impossible. While some governments exclude nuclear power from their national green taxonomies, others, have included nuclear projects into the green financing system. “Recognizing that many sustainable investors have exclusionary criteria in place around nuclear energy, the UK government will not finance any nuclear energy-related expenditures under the Framework,” holds the UK government’s Green Financing Framework, enacted this July....

Preferably with long-term reliable and affordable electricity source – like...
