Zambia’s Cabinet approved a four-month pilot program to bulk-import petrol in a bid to cut pump prices and strengthen fuel supply security. The initiative will aggregate demand across oil marketing companies, allowing cheaper import costs, improved financing terms and more efficient logistics. The government says the move should ease transport and living-cost pressures on households and businesses, while reducing inflationary risks.
