The Zambian Government released K22.1 billion in December 2025 to finance public service delivery across the country.
Minister of Finance and National Planning, Dr. Situmbeko Musokotwane, said the funds were allocated towards public service wages, domestic and external debt servicing, clearance of arrears, support to vulnerable households, as well as government programmes and infrastructure projects.
According to the Treasury releases, K4.6 billion was used to pay salaries, K10.9 billion was allocated to debt servicing and arrears, K2.5 billion went to transfers and social benefits, K1.9 billion supported government operations, while K2.2 billion was directed towards capital investments, including road works and rural electrification.
Dr. Musokotwane said the releases reflect government efforts towards maintaining fiscal discipline, economic stability and growth as the country transitions beyond the IMF-supported Extended Credit Facility (ECF) Programme.
He further stated that citizens, businesses and other stakeholders are encouraged to take part in the implementation of the 2026 National Budget to help ensure that resources are directed towards high-impact programmes nationwide.
