Senior treasury officials and central bank officials from the SADC region are on Wednesday afternoon expected to adopt the annotated agendas for the Committee of Ministers of Finance and Investment and the SADC Peer Review Panel.
This will mark the end of the senior treasury and central bank officials meeting ahead of the Committee of Ministers of Finance and Investment meeting set for Thursday.
The discussions are aimed at fostering regional economic integration and sustainable development.
On Thursday, Mr Elias Magosi, SADC Executive Secretary, will deliver his remarks, followed by an address by Zimbabwe’s Minister of Finance, Economic Development, and Investment Promotion, Professor Mthuli Ncube, to mark the official opening of the meetings.
A closed session will dominate the morning agenda, focusing on sensitive regional financial matters, with outcomes expected to shape collaborative fiscal policies.
The meeting of Ministers of Finance will culminate with the Peer Review Panel Meeting on Friday, a cornerstone of SADC’s governance framework.
Closed sessions in the morning will evaluate member states’ adherence to regional economic benchmarks, with findings contributing to the bloc’s accountability mechanisms.
