Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe – Senior government officials from ministries of finance and investment across the SADC region are holding critical talks in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe, where discussions now include central bank officials from member states.
The extended joint session, which began on Tuesday and runs until Wednesday, follows a day of initial deliberations on Monday, 9 June 2025. It brings together high-level technocrats from across southern Africa to assess the economic health of the region and track progress toward shared financial goals.
Among the key agenda items are a review of regional macroeconomic conditions, analysis of economic performance across member states, and peer review assessments for Angola, Zambia, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Delegates are also scrutinising progress on the SADC Macroeconomic Convergence targets, which aim to align member states around common indicators such as inflation, public debt levels, and fiscal balances.
Held under the backdrop of ongoing regional challenges, the talks are expected to shape key policy proposals and technical documents that will be tabled before SADC finance ministers and central bank governors at a high-level ministerial meeting scheduled for 12 June 2025.
