Chairman’s Review
I am happy, on behalf of the Commission, to present the 2020 annual report. This is a requirement by both the Securities Act, Number 41 of 2016 and the Public Finance Management Act, No. 1 of 2018. In line with the Securities Act, No. 41 of 2016, the Commission is required to report on several issues including, but not limited to, the following:
a) The extent of the implementation of the
Commission’s oversight functions and their effectiveness; b) Cost savings resulting from the Commission’s operations; c) The cost to the nation for not having the Commission; d) The nature of the working relations with capital market operators; e) The actual and projected efficiencies the Commission has achieved as a result of the continuing regulatory activities; and f) The immediate and projected capabilities of the Commission. The Commission has reported on these six areas in relevant sections of this annual report. In addition to these six areas, I am glad, on behalf of the Commission, to report on several exciting activities and projects embarked on in the year under review, all of which contributed to achieving our statutory mandate. In addition to the capital markets financial inclusion agenda, capital formation required for economic growth is an important objective of the Commission’s Strategic Plan. In this regard, the Commission, during the year, started working on several projects to assist with the mobilization of both local and foreign savings into specific economic areas. I am glad to report that to this end, the Green Bonds Project and the Sandbox Guidelines are some of the initiatives embarked on during the year. With the approval of the Green Bonds Guidelines, capital markets will assist in channeling funds into economically sustainable green projects and facilitate the raising of funding for power, reforestation exercises and water conservation, among other green projects, in the country. With respect to the Sandbox project, the Commission has seen the need to embrace innovation in the development of our markets. Therefore, the Sandbox will provide an opportunity to test innovative capital markets products in a less regulated, but controlled, environment. The

Commission strongly believes that to continue with the country’s job creation agenda, innovative SME funding models will be tested in the Sandbox regulatory environment. To ensure the market remained predictable and trusted as the Commission implements its 2018 - 2021 Strategic Plan as well as introduce new and exciting products, investor protection remains at the core of all our concerns. In this regard, the need to fully operationalize the 2016 Securities Act and thus ensure that the capital markets remain safe and trusted is a priority area for the Commission. The Commission has, in this respect, drafted 10 Rules and Regulations that are now undergoing Regulatory Impact Assessment (RIA) and a stakeholder consultative process before they are promulgated into law. In addition to working on the Rules and Regulations, the Commission during the year issued several Guidelines and Directives meant to make aspects of the Law operational as well as give guidance to the market. To demonstrate our resolve to improve investor protection through continued update of Laws, Rules, Regulations and Guidelines, the Commission had in 2019 given a Directive on the need to report to the Commission, as required by the Securities Act, all secondary market bond trades. This implementation of the Law has, in 2020, yielded positive results and going forward, the Commission will be publishing bond trading data which will make our capital markets more transparent, help with price formation and discovery and thus assist investors make informed investment decisions when investing in bonds. With a developed secondary bond market, we are positive that the GRZ primary market bond issuances will be more successful as there will be a transparent and liquid secondary market where primary issuances could be traded thus giving investors an easy exit option. In looking ahead and as previously reported on, the Commission in partnership with the Ministry of Finance and Financial Sector Deepening Africa (FSDA), which is a DfID funded project and is financier, are working on the development of the Capital Markets Master Plan scheduled to be finalized and launched in 2021. This plan, which is a comprehensive capital markets strategy paper, will anchor capital markets development in Zambia for the next 10 years. The Commission remains indebted to the role co-operating partners have played in facilitating capacity building for Commission staff. With regulatory bodies increasingly being faced with capacity constraints, the need to migrate from compliance based to risk-based supervision-n cannot be overemphasized. In this vein, the Commission is grateful for the role Toronto Centre has played in training Commission staff to implement the RBS in a three-year implementation plan starting in May 2019. In 2020, the project would focus on the development of the policy and other supervisory tools as well as pilot testing in the latter part of the year. With the full roll out of RBS scheduled for
May 2021, the capital markets will be better supervised with supervision focused on the areas with the most risk in the market. While the Commission continued to deliver on its mandate of investor protection and market development, the key challenge continues to be the limitation in the availability of financial resources. This has impacted the Commission’s ability to provide an effective oversight role on the country’s capital markets. The Commission is however grateful on the continued support that government,through the Ministry of Finance, has given to the Commission by ensuring that the Securities Act is further enhanced, Regulations and Rules are enacted, and that the Commission had permanent and adequate office accommodation.

In conclusion, on behalf of the Board, management, and staff, the Commission continues to thank the Ministry of Finance, supporting partners and all capital market players for the cordial and supportive environment that has characterized capital markets. Amos Siwila CHAIRPERSON

Chief Executive’s Statement
The Commission ended 2020 on a positive note despite several challenges experienced in the first and second quarters of the year. With subdued market activity which extended from Q4 of 2019, the Commission faced challenging cash flows in the first two quarters of the year. Further, covid-19 affected the Commission’s operational efficiencies with more than half of the staff being hospitalised or experiencing other covid-19 related effects. The performance for 2020 was however above the Commission’s projections as reported under the finance and other sections of this report. As a service organisation that exists to protect investors and develop the capital markets, and with human capital at the core of regulatory work, staff adapted well to the covid-19 challenges and embraced the work-fromhome situation with a continued innovative mindset that ensured the implementation of the Commission’s plans. The Commission has used the above challenges as an opportunity to craft survival strategies including the perfection of tools such as the online document management system, zoom meeting tools, time sheets, and other tools that have continued to help the Commission to supervise the capital markets whether working from home or the office. These tools helped minimise the impact of covid-19 on the Commission’s mandate to supervise the markets. Although the Commission saw its limited resources stretched to the limit, as explained above, the Commission continued to operate above expectations with prudent financial management and with the right tools mobilised and employees continuing to access resources from the comfort of their homes. While the Commission performed above expectations, the year under review experienced increased reports of ponzi scheme like cases with members of the public continuing to invest in very risky and unregulated products. These cases, appeared to increase with members of the public investing in such schemes like Heritage Coin of 2019, Kwakoo, Jaden Cash and Earn More. These incidents were investigated and the matters referred to relevant regulatory and enforcement agencies for appropriate action to be taken. The increasing number of these scams puts pressure on the Commission’s limited surveillance, supervision, and enforcement resources. This report, as required by the Securities Act Number 46 of 2016, gives an update on the Commission’s performance in 2020. While the Commission’s main mandate is to protect

investors in the capital markets and ensure that capital markets are developed, this is only possible in an environment where the limited financial and other resources are efficiently and effectively utilised. To this end, the Commission presents below financial statements for the year ended 31st December 2020. This is in line with both the requirements of the Public Finance Management Act and the Securities Act as well as good corporate governance principles. The Commission has continued to demonstrate that the financial resources of the Commission are continually managed in a prudent manner having in mind the Commission’s need to use resources in its primary function of investor protection and attending to market development goals. The Commission, as reported in previous years, however, continues to operate below the minimum required resource needs. Of concern, is the Commission’s continued lack of adequate funding which impacts other resource requirements such as staffing, office space, and ultimately the level and quality of supervisory and enforcement activities required to keep investors protected and good enough to bring confidence needed to grow the market. However, despite this challenge, the Commission applies the limited resources to those regulatory activities that add value to the protection of investors. The Commission therefore dedicated its resources to protect the K58 Billion invested through public markets on the Lusaka Securities Exchange Plc, the K900 Million in Collective Investment Schemes, and the K800 Million in Corporate Bonds. It is the Commission’s challenge to ensure that these funds are protected so that people’s savings are secure which is also a confidence building exercise needed for the growth of capital markets. The Commission now reports below the performance of the equity, corporate debt, and Collective Investment schemes (CIS) segments of the capital markets sector. These areas under the supervision of the Commission all contributed to the overall well-being of the financial sector in Zambia. Performance of the equities market Although the Capital markets in Zambia has two licensed securities exchanges, only one is functional. In addition, the Commission issued an exemption for the Central Bank to operate an electronic platform dedicated to the trading and settlement of GRZ secondary market bond trades. The Commission during the year continued to undertake supervisory actions on the Pan African Exchange (PANEX) whose license had been revoked in December 2019 and the Bonds and Derivatives Exchange (BaDEX) whose license was suspended. Thus, the two exchanges did not have any trading activity during 2020. Equity market The Lusaka All Share Index(‘‘LASI’’) declined by 8.25% on an annual basis from 4,264.51 basis points as of December 2019 to 4,564.78 basis points as at end of December 2020. The decline is attributed to a general decline in stock prices. In general terms, a portfolio holding all the constituent
shares of the index lost 8.25% of their value between 31st December 2019 and 31st December 2020.

We present below the salient indicators of the performance of the market during the year under review:

This represents an increase of 4.27% and this increase in mainly attributed to increase in the number of listed companies from 22 to 23 companies. However, including Shoprite, the Market Capitalization closed at ZMW 57, 508 billion in 2020 compared to ZMW 56,557 billion in 2019

representing an increase of 1.68%. The increase is mainly attributed t0 the value associated with the listing of ZAFFICO and an increase in share prices of some counters. In USD terms, the Market Capitalization including shoprite was down 32.44% from USD 4 billion in 2019 to USD 2.7 billion in 2020. The reduction in market capitalization in USD terms is mainly a result of the depreciation in the exchange rate moving down by 50.49% from K14.08/Us$ as of December 2019 to K21.19 as of December 2020. Turnover The turnover level, which is the value of the volume of shares traded increased by 49% between 2019 and 2020 from ZMW 266 million ZMW 397 million. This increase is mainly attributed to the reasons indicated as contribution to the increase in the volume of shares traded. Volume of shares and number of trades The volume of shares traded increased by 1,982 %, from 83,348,249 in 2019 to 1,735,680,555 shares in 2020 while the number of trades for the same period declined from 4,215 trades to 4,467 trades, representing a 5.64% decline. The increase in the volume of shares traded was attributed to one stock, Copperbelt Energy Corporation Africa (“CECA”) which accounted for 91.2% of the total annual volume of 2020. The trades resulted from a corporate action where BP Investments of Nigeria, acquired a significant shareholding in CECA. Although CECA trades on the LuSE, its operating assets are in the Nigerian power sector. Number of Listed and Quoted Companies The number listed of companies remained at 23 companies with one new listing and one delisting. The number of quoted companies remained unchanged at 12. Zambia Forestry and Forest Industries Corporation Plc listed its shares on 12th February 2020 while Cavmont Capital Holdings Zambia Plc delisted its shares on 31st December 2020. Turnover to Market Cap Ratio The turnover to market capitalisation ratio increased by 43.70% to 1.71 in 2020 from 1.19 % recorded in 2019.The decline in market liquidity was as result of a decline in turnover recorded in the year. Trading Turnover (Government Debt Securities) The trading turnover of government bonds increased by 68.03% from ZMW 5,886 million in 2019 to ZMW9,890 million in 2020. Corporate Bonds The private sector participation in the capital markets is mainly through issuance of bonds to raise investment funds. However, as a percentage of GDP, corporate bonds outstanding was at 0.20% or at ZMW 789 Million on 31st December 2020 compared to 0.23% of GDP or at K621 Million at 31st December 2019. The 27% increase in the corporate bonds outstanding during the year is

mainly due to USD denominated bonds issued during the year and the foreign exchange effects which increased the value of bonds issued in USD when translated in kwacha terms due to the depreciation of the kwacha. while there was very minimal activity in new corporate bond issues. Collective Investment Schemes (CISs) The number of authorized CISs as at 31st December 2020 remained unchanged at 10 collective investment scheme. The assets under management increased from ZMW 634 million as at 31st December 2019 to ZMW 929 million as of 31st December 2020, representing a 46.60% increment. The increase in the growth of funds is attributed to increased deposits especially with smaller funds that had embarked on aggressive marketing to position themselves in the market. The depreciation of the kwacha also has some effect on the increase in funds as some funds are denominated in USD. Financial Performance of the Commission To safeguard savings made through the capital markets, government continued to support the Commission in meeting operational costs. The Commission also continued to support government efforts by generating revenues that support the Commission’s budget implementation. However, as the Commission’s mandate is largely investor protection, financial performance indicators are mainly on account of the Commission needing to prudently apply the limited resources in meeting its mandated objectives. We report in other sections on some of the non-financial activities that the SEC is required to do as part of its mandate. In the period ending 31st December 2020, the Commission recorded an operating surplus of K 6,975,357 (2019 – Deficit K7,440,548) from a combined income of K 29,328,647 against total operating costs of K 22,353,310. The Commission during the year met all its obligations on time by utilizing the available cashflows. The surplus in the year is mainly attributed to the bond trade commissions and the GRZ Grants which was fully funded together with the arrears that went to offset the PAYE. Reserves The Commission’s accumulated fund (reserves) position at 31st December 2020 stood at K 5,665,652 compared to K (1,309,685) recorded at 31st December 2019. This increase, as explained above, was due to the trade commission received from both the sell and buy side of the trade from the market the diagram below shows that since 2014, the Commission had been managing to contain costs and thus improve on its reserve position but due to subdued market activities from 2016, the Commission’s reserve position has been declining as depicted below. However, the position has since changed post 2020 were there has been an upward trend.

Income Earned
During the year ended 31st December 2020, the Commission internally generated 61% of its income while GRZ grant support accounted for 39%. This is on the backdrop of subdued market activities as explained above. Commission Expenses The Commission being in the services sector, human capital is its main asset. Therefore, the Commission’s major expense continues to be employee costs, a significant and key component of our regulatory activities and therefore the key cost driver. On a comparative basis, for the period to 31st December 2020, the Commission’s total staff costs were 71% (2019 – 67%) of its total expenditure. Being a service-oriented organization that also champions investor awareness and investor protection, labor, awareness, and governance costs continues to be the Commission’s major cost elements. The Commission also strives to uphold good corporate governance by ensuring that the SEC had a well-functioning Board supported by effective Board committees. In order to assist the Board, make informed licensing, authorization, and registration decisions among others, the Board, as provided for in the Securities Act, has constituted a number of committees of the Board, which have a good representation of various required professions. Capital Expenditure The Commission’s capital expenditure was as follows during the period under review:
Type 2020 ZMW 2019 ZMW
Computer hardware 69,575 45,561
Office equipment - -
Office furniture - -
Motor vehicles
Land and Buildings

28,378
Total 69,575 73,939
Staff Complement and staff matters
The Commission’s staff complement during the review period remained at 24 compared to an approved structure of 43 (2018– 2021). This staff head count is below the minimum required to effectively run with the legal mandate of protecting investors required of the Commission. -5000000 5000000 10000000 15000000 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 Movement in reserves

To continue in operational existence following the financial resource challenges that started in 2018 and more pronounced in 2019, staff, at the request of the Board, agreed for the Commission to suspend certain parts of the Conditions of Service as a way of keeping the operating costs within the Commission’s cash flows. With this and other operational rationalisations, the Commission, was one of the few entities that did not experience staff going without pay in 2020. The full list of employees during the period under review is provided in Appendix I while the approved structure is highlighted below:

Training and Workshops
Multi-national and Regional Conferences and Summits Attended by Commission Staff The Commission did not send any of its staff for training outside of Zambia due to financial constraints. However, several staff members did attend online courses, workshops and seminars as part of the Commission’s deliberate policy to ensure staff are aware of the developments in this ever-changing capital markets environment. Phillip K. Chitalu CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

Corporate Governance
2020 was a year that enabled the Commission, like many other public and private institutions, to leverage on technology in order to achieve its oversight role. With COVID-19 protocols preventing meetings of certain numbers, the Commission has been using electronic meeting platforms to conduct its committee and board meetings. The Commission is no longer talking about the new normal but is living it. Corporate governance is a key function employed by the Commission to ensure that the Commission is properly managed and controlled. The Commission Board ensures that the distinct roles of management and the Board are not confused. The Securities Act does highlight the functions that the Board is mandated to exercise and the power to delegate its functions to the Chief Executive Officer or a Committee of the Board. The exercise of these functions not only ensure the attainment of the three key objectives of securities regulation being investor protection, ensuring markets are fair, efficient and transparent as well as the reduction of system risk but they also ensure that the governance principles of transparency, responsibility, accountability and fairness are complied with. The Board’s oversight role is highlighted in Section 8 of the Securities Act, No. 41 of 2016. In addition, the Commission has a Board Charter that prescribes the conduct and operations of the Board and its Members, individually and severally. The Charter guides Members on declarations of interest, gift acceptance restrictions as well as the prohibition of trading on nonpublic, price-sensitive information. The Commission also enforces a Code of Conduct to the Commission staff which prescribes the conduct and behaviour of staff on governance issues, especially regarding conflict of interest. The Code of Conduct requires staff to declare interest in matters in which staff could have personal interest. It is also a requirement that staff declare gifts received from any person or entity, whether regulated by the Commission or not as well as insider dealing restrictions. In order to ensure that the Commission is kept abreast with international corporate governance trends, the Commission requires all senior management staff to be members of the Institute of Directors of Zambia.

Board Composition
In 2020, there was a change in the composition of the Commission’s Board with the Member representing the Ministry of Finance being replaced with another Member. The Board’s composition is eight (08) Members representing the following institutions in accordance with
Section 8(2) and (3) of the Securities Act, No. 41 of 2016:
a) Bank of Zambia; b) Law Association of Zambia; c) Zambia Institute of Chartered Accountants; d) Zambia Chamber of Commerce and Industry; e) Ministry responsible for finance; f) Ministry responsible for justice; g) Pensions and Insurance Authority; and h) the Commission’s Chief Executive Officer as ex-officio Member. All the non-executive Members of the Commission Board are appointed by the Minister from a nomination made by the respective organisation. In addition, section 8(5) of the Act requires the Minister to ensure that at least fifty percent of each gender is nominated and appointed to the Commission Board, unless it is not practicable to do so. However, the Act empowers the Members to elect, from amongst their number, a Chairperson and Vice-Chairperson of the Board. During the period under review, the Commission Board consisted of the following Members:

Committees and Committee Membership
In order to enhance efficient decision-making, the Securities Act of 2016 has introduced timeframes within which decisions should be made. The Board has therefore pursuant to
section 14 of the Act delegated, to the Licensing Committee and Market Transactions
Committee, decision-making on time-sensitive matters such as those relating to licensing as well as market transactions (including registration of securities for capital raising and other authorisations). The delegated function ensures that decisions are expeditiously made without having to wait for the quarterly scheduled Board meetings. In this regard, the Commission Board has established Committees to assist the Board in performing some of the statutory functions conferred on the Board. The Commission has one ad hoc and five standing Board Committees namely – a) the Compensation Fund Committee; b) the Licensing Committee; c) the Market Transactions Committee; d) the Risk and Audit Committee; e) the Staff and Remuneration Committee; and f) the Property Acquisition and Development Committee (ad hoc). The Compensation Fund Committee is a Board Committee established pursuant to section 176 of the Securities Act. The Committee is responsible for overseeing matters relating to the Compensation Fund and reporting to the Board. In particular, the Committee administers the Fund and make determinations for the settlement of claims against the Fund as provided for under the Securities (Compensation Fund) Regulations. The Licensing Committee is a Board Committee established pursuant to section 13 of the Securities Act and is responsible for licensing market players and overseeing and reporting on

the existing and new policies as stipulated in the Act and the Rules made pursuant to the Act as well as enforcement matters. The Market Transactions Committee is a Board Committee established pursuant to section 13 of the Securities Act and is responsible for overseeing, and reporting to the Board on approval of applications for registration of securities required to be registered under Part VIII of the Act as well as the quanta and efficacy of capital formation. The Risk and Audit Committee is a Board Committee of the Board constituted under section 13 of the Securities Act. In addition, it is a statutory requirement under the Public Finance Management Act, No. 1 of 2018, for this Committee to be established. The Committee is responsible for overseeing financial management, reviewing internal controls, checks and balances and risk management. The Staff and Remuneration Committee is a Board Committee established pursuant to section 13 of the Securities Act and is responsible for overseeing, and reporting to the Board on recruitment, skills training, capacity building and retention of staff. The Property Acquisition and Development Committee has been established as an ad hoc Committee to guide Management in the Commission’s property acquisition and development process. This Committee did not hold any meetings in the period under review. In addition, the Commission has established a Procurement Committee, chaired by the Chief Executive Officer, in accordance with the Public Procurement Act, No. 12 of 2008. In 2020, the Committees were composed of the following members:

Audit Function
The Commission Board has an interest to ensure that it is transparent, responsible, accountable and fair in all its dealings with all types of stakeholders. The Board has delegated, to the Risk and Audit Committee, its role of ensuring that the Commission has put in place sound financial management structures and processes, including financial, risk management and internal audit

controls. The Commission, therefore, uses audit as one of the most important oversight tools of its corporate governance. The Commission has both an internal and external audit function. Due to the size of the Commission, the internal audit function is not performed by a member of staff engaged as an internal auditor but has traditionally been outsourced. However, following the substantial increase in audit fees prescribed under the Accountants (Client Fees) Regulations, Statutory Instrument No. 34 of 2018, the engagement was suspended and the Risk and Audit Committee of the Board has taken up an interim oversight role to enhance the Commission’s adherence to internal controls, procedures and processes. The internal audit function is meant to ensure that internal controls are effectively functioning in managing risk in the Commission. The Commission’s Audit Committee achieves this by reviewing the control systems for the Commission and providing an independent assurance of risk management of the Commission to the Board. In addition, the institutional capacity assessment undertaken by the FSDAappointed Consultants reviewed, among other things, the internal controls at the Commission. In the review period, the Commission was engaging the office of the Controller of Internal Audit at the Ministry of Finance to consider attaching one of the auditors to the Commission and the discussions had been inconclusive at the end of the review period. The Securities Act requires the Commission’s external auditors to be appointed by the Commission subject to approval by the Minister responsible for finance. The external auditors are required to perform an annual audit and present a report to the Board on the Commission’s financial statements as well as stating the level of compliance by the Commission to the law, regulations and policies. The financial statements are thereafter presented to the Minister of Finance as part of the Commission’s Annual Report. Commission Secretary The Commission’s Board Secretary is appointed pursuant to Section 17 of the Securities Act and is in charge of the corporate secretarial affairs of the Commission, under the general supervision of the Chief Executive Officer. The law further allows the Secretary to perform other functions directed by the Board under the general supervision of the Chief Executive Officer. The Director – Enforcement and Legal Services is the Board-appointed Secretary to the Commission Board and performs the secretarial functions as required under section 17 of the Securities Act. Board Performance Self-Evaluation
Section 11 of the Commission’s Board Charter mandates the Board and its Committees to
undertake a performance self-evaluation in order to assess the effectiveness of the Board, its Committees, and its individual Board Members. The Board has over the last five years been undertaking an annual performance self-evaluation, in the last quarter of the financial cycle, as a corporate governance performance monitoring tool.

The performance self-evaluation is a collective, introspective, and comprehensive reflection by the Board to assess how the Board can be made more effective. The evaluation process is meant to identify strengths and weaknesses, to flag areas for improvement, and to plan for further action as appropriate. For the process to be effective, Board members are required to be open and submit positive ideas and opinions. The Board has developed an appropriate methodology to conduct the Performance Evaluations through a questionnaire that has been developed and which is required to be filled in by each Board Member. The responses are then collated and the results of the evaluation presented to the Board for further consideration. Overall Assessment of Board Performance in 2020 The Board performance self-evaluation was done for the following eight major areas: Board Activity; Mission and Purpose; Governance/Partnership Alignment; Board Organisation; Administration and Staff Support; Time and Location of Meetings; Recording/Minute Taking; and Membership. The analysis of each of these areas was done and the results for each area assessed. The assessment revealed an overall Board’s performance for 2020 rated at 87.34% compared to the assessment for 2019 at 88.55% with the lowest rating being the assessment of Governance/Partnership Alignment at 74.36% and the highest rating being the assessment of Recording/Minute Taking at 97.5%. The lowest and highest rated areas were consistent from those rated highest and lowest in 2019, respectively. The following table highlights the Board’s performance for 2020 for each of the assessment areas:

Board Committee Performance The Commission Board has five standing and one ad hoc Committee. The performance of the five standing Committees was assessed using the same methodology adopted for the Board and which was aimed at identifying strengths and weaknesses, flagging areas for improvement and planning for further action as appropriate. The Committee Performance of the Property Acquisition and Development Committee was not assessed in 2020 yet again as the Committee’s Meetings have been suspended until the resumption of the Burma Road construction project or until another construction or renovation is commissioned. The Committee performance selfevaluation was conducted for the following seven major areas: Purpose of the Committee; Support for the Committee; Administration and Staff Support; Time and Location of Meetings; Attendance; Recording/Minute Taking; and Membership.

Report on regulatory and operational efficiency The Commission is required to report on its regulatory and operational efficiency as part of the reporting requirements introduced by the Securities Act of 2016. In particular, Section 11(3) of the First Schedule to the Securities Act, No. 41 of 2016 requires the Commission to include this information in its Annual Report. Thus, in reporting this information, the Commission is required to highlight the following:
a) the extent to which the Commission has fully implemented its regulatory oversight functions as provided under the Securities Act and in its rules and the effectiveness of the operation of such regulatory oversight function; b) the actual and projected cost savings to the Government, if any, resulting from the operations of the Commission; c) the actual and projected costs which the Commission and the public would have incurred if the Commission had not undertaken regulatory responsibility for certain areas under the Commission’s jurisdiction; d) the nature of the working relationship between the securities exchanges, clearing and settlement facilities and the Commission; e) an assessment of the actual and projected efficiencies the Commission has achieved or expects to be achieved as a result of the continuing regulatory activities of the Commission; and f) the immediate and projected capabilities of the Commission. The Commission reports on each of the six areas as follows:
Extent of implementation of the Commission’s oversight function and their effectiveness The Board oversees the administrative affairs of the Commission by putting in place effective, efficient and transparent systems of corporate governance and generally providing strategic direction to the Commission, among other responsibilities. Section 8 of the Securities Act places the Securities Act’s mandate in the Commission Board which is comprised of Members representing different institutions as required under the Securities Act. In addition, the Board has also constituted Committees to which it has delegated some of its decision-making functions so as to assist the Board in exercising its statutory functions. The Commission’s Board Charter also provides guidance to the Board Members in their conduct of Board business to ensure that there is a right balance between the oversight role of the Board and the secretarial function of the Commission. Further, the Commission applies a Code of Conduct to the Commission staff which prescribes the conduct and behaviour of the staff especially with regard to conflict of interest issues. Both the Code of Ethics and the Board Charter have enshrined provisions and procedures on the declaration of interest and declaration of gifts from any person or entity, whether regulated by

the Commission or not. Further, both documents specify the procedures to be taken whenever an employee or a Board Member would like to participate in the capital markets as a player, which guard against trading on non-public, price-sensitive information. The Commission reports that during the year under review, none of the Board members and staff were sanctioned with respect to this governance structure that is in place. In addition, the Commission has been able to implement its oversight functions by undertaking regulatory actions in response to infringements, by capital market operators, of the legal and regulatory framework. Some of these regulatory actions include the taking of supervisory possessions and the imposition of administrative sanctions including fines, censures and recompense directives, among others. Cost Savings resulting from the Commission’s Operations One of the Commission’s functions highlighted under section 8(b) of the Securities Act include the approval of the Commission’s budget estimates to ensure sound financial management structures and processes, including financial, risk management and internal audit controls. The Commission prudently manages its resources to achieve its strategic objectives and therefore does not spend outside the approved budgets including in the review period. Cost to the Nation for not having the Commission As at December 2020, the Commission was protecting over ZMW59 billion worth of investments in products ranging from shares or stocks, corporate bonds as well as assets under management in collective investment schemes. These investments are made directly by not less than 165,000 investors and indirectly much more considering that the pension schemes and other institutional investors invest in the capital markets on behalf of the Zambian public. As the majority of the institutional investors are pension funds which invest employee contributions into several investment portfolios including the capital markets, the investments of these funds would be susceptible to fraud and other criminal activities without the Commission being present. Thus, in order to effectively undertake its investor protection mandate over the savings or investments earlier highlighted, the Commission requires issuers to make prompt and full disclosure of non-public price-sensitive information by a company’s directors to the general public which disclosures enable investors and the general public to make informed decisions. With the large pool of savings subject to which the Commission exercises its regulatory investor protection mandate, the Commission’s importance or relevance cannot be overemphasised as the savings could be lost, eroded or misapplied without the Commission’s oversight function. This would have an adverse impact on financial market confidence as well as the capacity of the capital markets to play the important function of savings mobilization.

The Commission is there to ensure that it protects the interests of investors in the capital markets and in the process ensure maintenance of financial sector confidence which is key to resource mobilisation through bond issuances and other instruments. Actual and Projected efficiencies the Commission has achieved as a result of the continuing regulatory activities The Commission has enhanced enforcement activities which has resulted in an increase in compliance by capital market operators which has a corresponding increase in market confidence. This has translated into increased capital mobilisation especially in Collective Investment Schemes (CISs) and Corporate Bonds. For the 2020 period, the Commission Board approved the following Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to enable the Commission achieve its strategic objectives in an efficient and effective manner:

Increase capital market investor base from 85,000 to 90,000 by December 2020
Issue the following 5 Regulations and Rules by December 2020:
(a) the Securities (Registration of Securities) Regulations; (b) the Securities (Capital Market Operators) (General Licensing Procedures and Requirements) Rules and Regulations; (c) the Securities (Collective Investment Scheme) Rules and Regulations, 2019; and (d) the Securities (Fees and Levies) Rules; and (e) the Securities (Financial Technology) Rules;
Issue CP (Commercial Paper), REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust), Venture Capital and
ETF (Exchange Traded Funds) Guidelines by Dec 2020
Address 70% of complaints received during 2020
Enhance revenue mobilisation by achieving targets set in the 2020 budget (i.e.
K13million)
Although the implementation of these performance indicators was adversely affected by limited financial resources as well as the COVID-19 pandemic that prevented physical consultative meetings from being convened to consult the market on the draft laws, the Commission was able to see the number of investors increase to over 86,000 during the course of the year and submitted the Securities (Fees and Levies) Rules to the Ministry of Justice for enactment. A number of draft Statutory Instruments were also finalised but had not been subjected to the stakeholder consultative process which was adversely affected by limited financial resources as well as the unfolding COVID-19 pandemic as earlier highlighted. The draft laws are therefore scheduled to undergo both a stakeholder consultative review process as well as the undertaking of regulatory impact assessments as required under the Business Regulatory Act, No. 3 of 2014. The Commission, however, did issue Guidelines on bond trade reporting which has significantly increased transparency and disclosure of bond prices in the market. Despite the challenges encountered in the year, the Commission was able to implement what it could of the performance indicators as would enhance the Commission’s regulatory efficiencies.

In attempting to address the reduced financial resources available for the Commission to undertake its regulatory activities, the Commission leveraged on partnerships with a number of institutions that were supporting the following Commission projects highlighted in the Table:

Nature of the working relations with Capital Market Operators The Commission has a very good working relationship with the capital market operators represented by the Capital Markets Association of Zambia (CMAZ) to which each capital market operator is, by law, required to be a member of. The Commission holds regular stakeholder meetings including the annual capital markets operators’ forum, the quarterly Chairman’s breakfast meeting with the market, and other regular market meetings. Further, the Chief Executive Officer also conducts media briefs on a regular basis to inform the market on the latest developments in the capital markets. Immediate and Projected capabilities of the Commission The Commission has, as one of its strategic objectives, the enhancement of regulatory capacity for the Commission staff. In 2020, the Commission leveraged on partnerships with cooperating partners such as Toronto Centre, CISI and IOSCO to undertake training of Commission staff in topical areas including risk-based supervision. The Commission also took advantage of electronic platforms made necessary by the unfolding COVID-19 pandemic to enhance the regulatory capacity of Commission staff. The trainings and capacity building that Commission staff underwent in 2020 have ensured that the Commission is always in tune with current developments in the capital markets space. For instance, the full implementation of the RBS framework that was in the second year of implementation in 2020 would ensure that the Commission uses the limited resources it has to address the riskiest areas of the market.

Operational Activities
In 2020, like most public institutions, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) was affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. However, despite the adverse effects of the pandemic on the Commission, the Commission was able to execute its dual mandate of market supervision and market development under the ‘new normal’ leveraging on technology and electronic meeting platforms to ensure that the performance of the Commission’s investor protection and market development mandate could continue as seamlessly as possible despite the adverse effects of the pandemic. In undertaking its investor protection mandate, the Commission ensures that the markets are free, fair and transparent by requiring the registration of securities, the licensing and authorisation of capital market operators and the supervision of capital market operators to ensure that they are in compliance with the requirements of the law. MARKET SUPERVISION The Commission is responsible for the supervision of capital markets operators. The Commission undertakes its supervisory function through undertaking a number of activities, including licensing, inspections, surveillance and complaints handling. A key objective is to ensure capital markets operators comply with the Securities Act and its subsidiary legislation, thus ensuring a secure, fair and orderly investment environment that enhances investor and public protection and promotes an orderly development of the industry. The capital markets operators in the Zambian Capital Markets industry consist of brokers/dealers, investment advisers, securities exchanges, central securities depositories, issuers, fund managers, credit rating agencies, investment banks, transfer agents among others. [The full list of capital markets players and their contact details is provided in Appendices II and III.] The regulatory power of the Commission is anchored upon four pillars as follows:
a) Any person dealing or advising on securities must be licensed by the Commission; b) Any securities market must be authorized and licensed as a securities exchange by the Commission; c) All securities of a public company which are publicly traded must be registered by the Commission; and d) CISs must be authorized by the Commission. Market Supervision (“MS”) entails ensuring that persons authorized/licensed to operate in the Zambian Capital Markets, including listed and quoted businesses; collective investment schemes (CISs); exchanges; brokers; investment advisers; representatives; custodians; trustees; etc. adhere at all times to continuing obligations as set out in the Securities Act. MS encompasses the three amin functions of licensing, inspections and surveillance and complaints handling as highlighted in the following table:

Capital markets players are required to submit to the Commission monthly, quarterly and yearly returns. For example,

All capital markets operators are required to submit audited financial statements;
Dealers and Investment advisers are required to submit a separate auditors report
addressed to the Commission and management confirmation of compliance;
All dealers are required to submit Monthly Capital Adequacy Reports;
Fund managers are required to submit monthly and quarterly returns; and
Issuers are required since 2019 to submit a Gap Analysis Report and other reports under
the Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting Framework.
These reports are used by the Commission for offsite monitoring as well as for planning on-site inspections of capital markets operators. Licensing Licensing, being at the forefront, sets high regulatory standards at the very outset to fulfil the Commission’s mandate which is designed to ensure investor protection and support the operation of a free, orderly, fair, secure and properly functioning Securities Market. Licensing acts as the entry point into the Securities Market by capital markets operators. Therefore, the SEC strives to strike the right balance between its business-friendly approach and complying with international regulatory standards. In line with its endeavour to align its processes to international best practices and to embrace modern regulatory approaches, the SEC constantly ensures that these practices are embedded Licensing The MS Team reviews and processes license applicactions in line with the Securities Act provisions Inspections The MS Team reviews and assesses the licensed persons’ work procedures & their compliance to the Act, Rules and Directives Surveillance & Complaints handling The MS Team undertakes surveillance using variois tools, plus attending Annual General Meeting. The Team also deals with complaints lodged with the Commission

into its operations at the licensing stage. As a result, this provides for a more cohesive and transparent framework guiding further improvements in the Commission’s regulatory approach. The licensing procedure is clearly defined in the Securities Act and rules, regulations, directives and guidance notes issued by the SEC. At Licensing, the SEC has in place a transparent and wellestablished set of procedures leading to the issue of a licence or the rejection thereof. In assessing applications, the SEC is required to conduct a number of assessments - including the fit and proper test of applicants. In conducting the fit and proper test, the Commission assesses the financial soundness of the applicants, lawfulness and moral standards of the proposed activity, source of funds of the proposed activity, integrity of the shareholders, directors and key managers and any other relevant issues. For corporate applicants the Commission also analyses beneficial ownership information to ensure that only people of high integrity can operate in the Capital Markets. Where applications may cause harm to the good repute of the jurisdiction, such applications are recommended for rejection. Licences in issue as at 31st December 2020 The Zambian Capital Markets continued to gain momentum and systemic importance in the year under review. The Commission continued with its role of ensuring that only fit and proper persons were allowed to conduct securities business and offer regulated services to the investing public. As at 31st December 2020, there were 168 licenses in issue. A breakdown of the number of valid licenses (by license type) is provided in the table below:

Inspections
For the year 2020, the SEC carried out off-site and on-site inspections. Three (3) of the Capital Markets players were subjected to for-cause (targeted) inspections. The Commission further conducted offsite inspections for all Fund Managers.

In undertaking the project to implement the risk-based supervision (RBS) framework, the Commission conducted pilot inspection on two (2) market players. The pilots were conducted to test the Commission’s draft RBS Framework and tools developed by the RBS Project Team. Surveillance & Complaints Handling Market Surveillance Market surveillance continues to be one of the key functions undertaken by the Commission. It entails monitoring trade operations by using daily analysis of market trades, writing periodic reports, investigating anomalies and other activities. It also involves analysing information gathered through complaints, social, electronic and print media, among others. The goal is to ensure compliance by the capital markets operators to the SEC rules and regulations, in order to regulate the market and provide the necessary protection to investors. Issuers As part of surveillance, the Commission continued to attend, in an observer capacity, Annual General Meetings (AGMs) of entities with registered securities (issuers). During the year our market surveillance team attended AGMs for most of the issuers and the following items were noted:

Attendance: Due to the covid 19 restrictions that came into effect around March 2020
when Zambia recorded its first confirmed case, AGMs had to be postponed as physical meetings had been banned. However, in the course of the year, most companies held their AGMs virtually and this in some cases tended to affect the attendance levels as people were still trying to adjust to the new way of living in the covid-19 pandemic.
Investor Participation: Investors generally participated in the deliberations of the
meetings and almost all of the issues raised by investors during the AGMs were well responded to by most companies. Some investors also seemed well involved in the monitoring of the performance of the companies in which they have invested. The Commission noted however that there were some instances when listed entities did not completely provide information requested for by investors, a matter the Commission followed up on. Collective Investment Schemes The number of authorized fund managers remained the same in 2020 (i.e. 10 fund managers managing 11 collective investment schemes). O the upside, the value of assets under management by the authorised managers increased by 46.98% from K632,467,122 at the end of December 2019 to K929,571,277 as at 31st December 2020. This growth in assets under management was largely driven by growth in customer deposits driven by marketing activities by fund managers. The growth was also driven by fair value gains in dollar denominated assets held by the respective funds as the kwacha depreciated against the United States dollar. The value of assets under management is expected to cross the K1billion mark in 2021, this is a significant milestone for the sector.

On the downside, the CIS industry has faced a market confidence challenge on account of two (2) fund managers facing enforcement actions by way of the Commission taking possession of the entities. The possessions in both Madison Asset Management Company and Laurence Paul Investment Services Limited, were necessitated on account of several regulatory concerns, including failure to settle redemption requests made by investors. As part of the supervisory transformation being embarked upon by the Commission, DMSD will continue to escalate matters to DELS for necessary enforcement actions. As we prepare to roll-out risk-based supervision, it is imperative that legacy issues such as poor governance, lack of adequate operating systems and issues to do with fitness and properness are thoroughly addressed. The successful implementation of RBS demands in the first place that the market operators are fit and proper. Secondly, it is important for the Commission to signal that non compliance will be met with the commensurate enforcement action. Complaints The Commission continued to receive complaints from members of the public in relation to securities business. During the review period, the Commission received 56 complaints. The complaints related to various aspects of challenges faced by some investors including delay / non-payment of redemption claims for funds not being received. eighteen (18) of these complaints have been closed while the rest are still being investigated. Year ended 31 December 2020 Year ended 31 Dec 2019 Complaints brought forward from the previous year 5 3 New complaints received during the year 56 30 Complaints closed (18) (10) Complaints referred to Legal and Enforcement Dept (35) (18) Number of active complaints at year end 8 5 Below is an analysis of the nature of complaints received in 2020:

MARKET DEVELOPMENT
The year 2020 has been a remarkable year, mainly building on strategic partnerships forged in
2019. The Commission continued to work on key Projects that form a significant portion of
critical deliverables as they relate to set out initiatives in our Strategic Plan 2019 – 2021. The year 2020 although peculiar with respect to the onset of the Global pandemic of COVID 19, which brought about a disruption in traditional business approaches, its very nature gave rise to a new way of thinking and doing things, and in a way, balanced off some of the challenges faced by the Commission such as, limited financial resources for project implementation and other activities such as capacity building and awareness programmes that would ordinarily require physical gatherings. Now termed as the upside of COVID 19, it became possible to host workshops, webinars, exhibitions, capacity building (Training), social media campaigns et cetera via digital or online platforms, which would have otherwise been difficult to achieve via normal channels, budgetary constraints mentioned above. Equally of significant note on the upside was that the pandemic disease has in essence ratified the Commission’s wisdom in having embarked on visionary projects such as the development of the regulatory sandbox. The regulatory sandbox initiative came on the backdrop of prior year market development interventions such as the introduction of thought leadership masterclasses that were aimed at raising awareness and/or interest in global agendas as well as new areas of capital markets development. To this end, digitisation and the global agenda of sustainability, thus greening our economies were prioritised by the Commission. The Green Bonds Framework, issued in early 2020, is yet another notable milestone that aligns Zambia well in the global green discourse, whilst signalling our readiness as a destination for green investments. Indeed, it was a challenging period, but the Commission ensured to rise above the occasion and adapt to the new ways of doing things – “new normals”. Suffice to mention, the Commission was able to weather the storm in 2020 owing in part to the strong relationships with several strategic partners who are supporting a number of projects being spearheaded by the Directorate of Market Supervision and Development.

An overview of the projects for 2020 are reported below:
Financial Sector Deepening Africa / Zambia Partnership As part of the Commission’s long-term cooperation agreement with the Financial Sector Deepening Africa (FSDA) and Financial Sector Deepening Zambia (FSDZ) which was formalised in April 2019, progress on the two flagship projects under the agreement was recorded as follows:
i. Project to develop the Capital Markets Master Plan (CMMP) – In 2020, the Commission
recorded notable progress concerning the development of the CMMP, a ten-year longterm strategy for capital markets development. The milestones achieved included the following;

Establishment of the CMMP Steering Committee: The Ministry of Finance, in
consultation with the Commission, appointed members of the CMMP Steering Committee comprising of high-level financial sector experts (from the public and private sector) was established to oversee the smooth development and implementation of the CMMP.
Stakeholder Engagements & development of a Market Assessment Report:
Bourse Consult and Genesis Analytics, the consultants engaged in 2019 to coordinate the development of the CMMP, held various engagements with key stakeholders in the capital markets. The foregoing coupled with various research Our Partners on key projects Financial Sector Deepening Africa/Zambia CMMP & ICA MoU: Jan 2019 Toronto Centre Risk-Based Supervision & Other Trainings MoU: May 2019 UN Capital Development Fund Sandbox MoU: Mar 2020 Prudence Foundation Cha-Ching MoU: Sep 2019 Biodiversity Finance Initiative Green bonds CoC: Sept 2019 Chartered Institue of Securities & Investment Certifications MoU: Aug 2016

culminated into a Market Assessment Report (MAR). As such, the MAR included stakeholder views and a detailed desktop research of the Zambian macroeconomic environment, an international benchmarking for capital markets and an analysis of the legal / regulatory framework. Suffice to mention that the MAR was used as a basis to inform the development of the CMMP document.

CMMP Consensus building workshop: The Commission held a consensus building
workshop to discuss the MAR findings and as such, engaged a broad list of stakeholders to facilitate a unified direction for the Zambian capital markets development.
Development of a Draft CMMP document: A draft CMMP document culminating
from the MAR was developed and underwent the scrutiny of the joint CMMP Secretariat (the Ministry of Finance and the Commission), the Steering Committee and other key stakeholders.
ii. Project to undertake an Institutional Capacity Assessment (ICA) – An institutional
capacity of the Commission (initiated in 2019) whose objective was to look into the Commission’s internal structure for the purpose of identifying areas of strength and of improvement was completed in February 2020. The ICA Report produced by A2F Consultants (the consultants assigned to undertake the ICA) outlined priority recommendations to the Commission, which broadly included the following;
To have a defined Market Development Strategy;
To implement a Risk-Based Supervision;
To undertake a review of the Enforcement Process; and
To improve the Human Resource Management.
Toronto Centre Partnership: Long-Term Engagement for Capacity Building (Risk Based Supervision and Gender-Technology-Financial Inclusion Supervision Project) Risk Based Supervision In May 2019, the Commission and the Toronto Centre of Canada entered into a 3-year Long-Term Country Engagement (LTCE) to implement Risk Based Supervision for the Zambian securities sector. The Commission expects to roll out RBS in the Quarter 2 of 2022. Development of the RBS framework contributes to the Commission’s strategic objectives, in particular:

Strategic objective 1 – Improve Investor protection by developing legal/ regulatory
frameworks and developing enhanced regulatory capacity.
Strategic objective 3 – Improve stakeholder relationships by strengthening sensitization
and enforcement programs.
Strategic objective 5 - Improve operational processes and systems by re-engineering,
integrating and automating requisite systems.
The Commission has achieved various milestones under the project as follows:

Final Policy to be approved by the SEC Board in 2021 In 2021 and beyond, the Commission expects to roll out the following activities under the project:
Further to the execution of a partnership between the Commission and the Toronto Centre in 2019 to implement a Risk-Based Supervision Framework for the Securities sector, the two parties partnered in a two-phased project dubbed ‘Gender-Technology-Financial Inclusion Supervision Project’. Phase one of the project which was aimed at increasing the knowledge of the Commission and other Regulatory Authorities, financial institutions and financial services providers (among others), about the current conditions for Regulatory Technology (“RegTech”) readiness and using sex-disaggregated data for supervisory decision making was finalised in December 2020. Furthermore, phase two of the project which is set for launch in Quarter one of 2021 aims at providing expertise and resources to work with the Commission, to identify and develop self-assessment tools that can close identified gaps (from phase 1) or further the benefits of gender equality. Partnership with the United Nations Capital Development Fund (UNCDF) Further to the Commission and the UNCDF’s Certificate of Collaboration of September 2019, the two parties formalized the collaboration and entered a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) Approval of RBS Policy by the SEC Board (Q1 2021) Development of small firms strategy (Q2 2021) Develop & implement Communications Strategy (Q2 2021) Re-engineering supervisory processes (Q2 2021) Finalise implementation Plan (Q4 2021) Implementation of RBS in the Zambian Capital Markets (Q2 2022)

effected in March 2020. The MoU provides a framework of cooperation to facilitate and strengthen collaboration between the two parties in areas of common interest. Furthermore, the MoU outlines identified areas of cooperation in the following areas:

To build capacity for Zambian Financial Technology (FinTech) entities & Small to Medium
Enterprises on how capital markets work and options available to businesses looking to access capital. As part of the collaborative efforts, SEC facilitated a series of presentations dubbed ‘Regulatory navigation for Fintechs in Zambia’, organized by UNCDF and Bongohive Innovation and Technology Hub.
To support the creation and testing of Regulatory Sandboxes around new areas of
interest, including but not limited to: Peer-to-peer lending and crowdfunding innovations.
To explore the ways the Commission and UNCDF can facilitate the inclusion of more
women and youth in the Digital Economy of Zambia; and
To facilitate the increased access by Zambian FinTechs & Small to Medium Enterprises to
microfinance and investment capital.
A notable milestone recorded under the Commission’s partnership with the UNCDF is the succefull development of Guidelines for a Regulatory Sandbox Framework (“Sandbox”) for Capital Markets in December 2020. The Sandbox seeks to create a regulatory environment in which testing of capital markets innovations can be facilitated under a set of conditions and limitations designed to protect investors. It is anticipated that Participants of the Sandbox shall be entitled to Regulatory flexibility over a specified period of time to necessitate the smooth testing of their innovations and their future commercial deployment. Therefore, it is envisaged that the Sandbox is poised to position our local capital markets as an attractive market constituting of an enabling framework that enables potential participants to test their financial product or service as easily, conveniently, and efficiently as possible, in a timely and cost-effective manner, without placing undue risk on investors and the financial systems in general. The Commission envisages the sandbox to be a bridge that addresses concerns about regulatory compliance whilst ensures access to a vibrant and growing capital market. Partnership with the United Nations Biodiversity Finance Initiative (BIOFIN) In its efforts of ensuring that Capital Markets played a critical role to warrant Zambia’s attainment of the Seventh National Development Plan (7NDP) and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) the Commission developed Green Bonds Guidelines (Guidelines). The Guidelines were a culmination of the partnership between Biodiversity Finance Initiative (BIOFIN) Project Team under the United Nations Development Plan (UNDP) and the Commission. The guidelines are meant to facilitate the orderly and transparent issuance of green bonds and enhance investor protection. Despite the negative impact of Covid-19 pandemic, the Commission registered some meaningful progress to further the Green Bonds project. Some of the activities undertaken included the following:

i) On 9th July 2020, DMSD participated in a webinar organized by the Capital Markets Association of Zambia in which the Green Bonds framework was explained and positioned as a ready-to-use sustainable financing solution. ii) On 17th August 2020, the SEC and BIOFIN submitted green bonds tax incentives to the Budget Preparations Committee’s Tax Policy Review SubCommittee. The proposed incentives included 1) Withholding Tax exemption for interest income earned on green bonds 2) A two-year reduction in corporate tax rate by 2% for bond issuers 3) Issuance costs to be allowable deductions for corporate tax 4) 5% reduction in the corporate tax rate SMEs who access funding through CISs iii) On 29th October 2020, the Commission participated in the BIOFIN Euro-Asia Pacific Regional Dialogue and delivered a presentation titled “Role of capital markets in supporting and filtering biodiversity positive investments:
the case of Zambia”. iv) On 27th November, 2020 the Commission also participated in the launch of the “New Deal for Nature and People Campaign” hosted by World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) where green bonds as a sustainable financing option was the core of a speech delivered. This engagement birthed a new movement between SEC, WWF and BIOFIN who have teamed up to reinforce awareness campaigns on green bonds with a view of leveraging the partners’ network to pursue Zambia’s debut issuance of a green bond. The team has planned a number of joint activities for next year (2021). Capacity Building | National Financial Inclusion | Awareness | Education We take cognizant of the fact that the lack of resources made it difficult to undertake some planned capacity building activities for both staff and the market at large in 2019. In 2020, the Commission leveraged on partners and the industry players in sponsoring major activities. Below are some of the key activities undertaken in 2020. National Strategy on Financial Education Phase II 2019 – 2024 (NSFE II) The National Strategy on Financial Education Phase II (NSFE-II) for the period 2019 -2024, was launched on 10th December 2019. Its overall strategic objective is for the Zambian population to have improved knowledge, understanding, skills, motivation, and confidence to help them secure positive financial outcomes for themselves and their families by 2024. The priority financial education programmes of the NSFE-II are organized around four themes on financial education for children, youths, adults, and all age groups. In the year 2020, flagship programs under the NSFE II included the following: 1) Cha-Ching Financial Education Programme; 2) Financial Literacy Week; and 2) Validation of the School Curriculum. Cha-Ching Financial Education Programme Further to the Commission’s partnership (executed in 2019) with Prudence Foundation (the community investment wing for Prudential Limited) and Junior Achievement (JA) Zambia to implement a financial education programme for children known as “Cha-Ching”, the partners in

collaboration with the Ministry of General Education officially launched the programme in February 2020. However, the actual implementation which was earmarked for Quarter 2 of 2020, targeting to reach at least 5,000 young leaners was disrupted by the onset of the global pandemic, Covid-19. Notwithstanding, the Commission, Prudence Foundation and JA have continued to engage the Ministry of General Education to advance plans to implement the programme. Commemoration of the 2020 Financial Literacy Week (FLW) The FLW is a recognition of the Global Money Week which endeavours to undertake Financial education to people of all ages through the following – financial education resources that can be disseminated, used and adapted in financial education programmes; delivered through websites, social media, print and other media channels; and annual campaigns (e.g., The Financial Literacy Week). The FLW which took place in March 2020, culminated into awards given to professionals that are dedicated to furthering financial education. Owing to the COVID-19 health restriction measures, the events were scaled down to a virtual audience. The awards were presented by the Bank of Zambia Deputy Governor on behalf of the Governor who is the Financial Literacy Champion in Zambia. Validation of the Ministry of Education School Curricula for Financial Education In November 2020, Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) sponsored a three (3) days’ workshop hosted by the Ministry of Education and the Curriculum Development Centre with financial sector stakeholders that included the: - Ministry of Finance(MoF), Bank of Zambia (BOZ), Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Pensions and Insurance Authority (PIA), Zambia Revenue Authority (ZRA), Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC) for the purposes of updating and validating the school curriculum for financial education. Financial Sector Joint Messaging Campaign (FSJMC) Acting together as financial sector regulators, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Bank of Zambia and the Pensions and Insurance Authorities deliberated on the increasing fraudulent scams at the Financial Sector Regulators Tripartite Meeting of 3rd June 2019, it was decided that there is need to conduct a joint financial sector communications campaign that would aim at creating awareness and sensitization about risky and usually illegal or unauthorized, thus unregulated financial products. The Campaign Strategy was developed and launched on 18th August 2020 by a Task Team comprising of technical and communications personnel from the SEC, BOZ and PIA. It was envisaged that the campaign would shift behaviours of current and potential investors from spontaneous uptake of products to more vigilant and responsible actions. SEC was charged with spearheading the development of the campaign concept and strategy. The campaign was developed to touch on problematic areas through which financial fraud emanates and the
identified ones were as follows: -

Mobile Money Scams
Pyramid Schemes
Network Marketing
Cryptocurrencies/Initial Coin Offerings
Fraud through the internet
Fraud through fake deals such as fake minerals.
The FSJMC ran for and initial cycle making a measured reach of 14,000 individuals. The campaign is planned for continuation in 2021. Below is a statistical presentation of the initial reported reach. World Investor Week 2020

On 6th October 2020, the Commission in collaboration with the Capital Markets Association of Zambia joined the International Organization of Securities Commissions (“IOSCO”) in commemorating its fourth (4th) Annual WIW. The WIW is a public awareness campaign aimed at enhancing investor education and protection. The theme was ‘Be a Smart Investor through Capital Markets’ and emphasis was placed on behavioural aspects of self- responsibility. Activities that were undertaken included a media launch by the SEC CEO, Mr. Phillip Chitalu, University Panel Discussion, University Essay Competition, Secondary School Talks, Virtual Exhibition of Regulator and Capital Market Operators, Newspaper etc. Number of hits on social media

STATISTICAL REPORT FOR Cycle 1 Of The FSJMC

E-flyers distributed during the World Investor Week 2020 National Financial Inclusion Strategy As a co-implementor of the National Financial Inclusion Strategy, the Commission participated in two key projects as highlighted below.
i. 2020 Finscope Survey: As a member of the Finscope project team, the Commission took
parti in the following Finscope activities;

Finscope Training of Trainers workshop in preparation for the survey fieldwork.
Review and finalization of the Finscope Questionnaire.
Review and finalization of the Enumerators manual.
In view of the above, the Commission was assigned a task to facilitate and conduct the training of enumerators and to oversee their deployment in the Muchinga Province. As such, the Commission in collaboration with Zamstats and the Association of Microfinance Institutions of Zambia conducted the training of twenty-six (26) enumerators and five (5) supervisors from 20th – 31st August 2020 in Chinsali, Muchinga Province. Furthermore, the SEC participated in the monitoring of field work from 1st t0 7th September 2020. Enumeration areas visited during the field work included Isoka and Mpika. The data collection exercise was completed on 21st September 2020 and the 2020 Finscope Survey was launched on 17th December 2020.
ii. NFIS Communications Strategy: The Commission participated in the formulation and
implementation of the NFIS Communications Strategy. The purpose of the Strategy is to ensure a fully integrated approach to communication which is aligned to the NFIS that will facilitate the achievement of its goals and targets and to achieve increased awareness of the financial services available to all Zambians especially the most

vulnerable groups identified in the strategy. The primary target audiences of the NFIS Communications Strategy are the financially excluded who include (among others): 1) Youth; 2) Women; and 3) People living with disabilities. The Communication strategy was launched on 25th November 2020 and an illustration of campaign messages is shown in the images below. An illustration of NFIS campaign messages being disseminated Capacity building Under the Chartered Institute for Securities and Investments (CISI) – Zambia Regulatory Assessment Module The SEC/CISI partnership was effected in August 2016 through execution of a Memorandum of Understanding with a view to provide an effective framework for collaboration between the parties in the development of a formal certification programme for the capital markets sector practitioners. Under the partnership, the SEC has adopted the following courses:
i. International Introduction to Securities and Investment (Africa)
ii. Local Regulatory Assessment Module
iii. Technical Modules such as:

Global Securities
Risk/Operational Risk
Investment Management
Pilot Training on the Zambia Regulatory Assessment Module Having successfully launched the first module being the International Introduction to Investment in September 2016, the SEC working together with the CISI have developed the Local Regulatory Module. The module seeks to develop local knowledge regarding the required industry regulations for professionals working in the particular jurisdiction in this case, Zambia.

The pilot training for the Regulatory Module was undertaken virtually, from 20th to 23rd October and exams from 2nd to 4th December 2020.The pilot training undertook to train not only professionals from SEC but gave opportunity to other institutions in the financial industry as follows: -

The Ministry of Finance
Lusaka Securities Exchange Plc
Pensions and Insurance Authority
Bank of Zambia
Capital Markets Association of Zambia
CISI Regulatory Module Assessment Exam in progress Other capacity Building included training of SEC employees through the Toronto Centre partnership and regional bodies such as the Macro Economic Financial Institution (MEFMI). Recognition of the Capital Markets Association of Zambia as a Self-Regulatory Organisation The SEC on 9 th December, 2020 granted the Capital Markets Association of Zambia (CMAZ) recognition as a Self-Regulatory Organisation (SRO). The SRO recognition gives CMAZ the power to regulate the standards of practice and business conduct of its members in accordance with its by-laws, rules, policies, practices and interpretations.

SEC Vice Chairperson Mr George Nonde officially hands over Certificate of Award of Recognition as SRO to CMAZ president Mr. Nicholas Kabaso as SEC CEO Mr. Phillip Chitalu looks on. ENFORCEMENT AND LEGAL SERVICES Although 2020 was a challenging year for the Commission and the Directorate of Enforcement and Legal Services (DELS) in particular with Covid-19 and internal resource constraints, the directorate has been able to find solutions that have helped navigate the challenging period which may best be described as a period of crisis. The Chinese use two brush strokes to write the word “crisis”. One brush stroke stands for danger, the other for opportunity. Thus, in the 2020 year of crisis, DELS was made aware of the danger but have similarly recognized the opportunity by leveraging, for instance, on technology to undertake consultations for law review that had not progressed due to financial constraints. In addition, DELS has capitalized on partnerships with other law enforcement agencies such as the Zambia Police and the Drug Enforcement Commission that have assisted with investigation of matters, especially those with criminal aspects. DELS Functions DELS is a critical unit in the Commission’s investor protection mandate. Specifically, the Directorate performs the following main functions: Enforcement; Legislative development; Legal advisory and Corporate functions. Thus, the Commission, through DELS, is responsible for enforcing the Securities regulatory framework as prescribed by the Securities Act, No. 41 of 2016 (Act) and the Rules and Regulations made thereunder. DELS is responsible, inter alia, for ensuring legal and regulatory

compliance by capital market operators, identifying and recommending law reform and development of the regulatory framework, and providing corporate legal advisory and Board secretarial services. The core functions of DELS are divided between litigation, investigation and enforcement. DELS undertakes litigation on behalf of the Commission in all courts and Tribunals, and investigates alleged violations of the securities regulatory framework to ensure the growth of an orderly capital Markets and safeguard the interest of persons who invest in securities in order to guard against illegal and improper practices as provided under the Act and regulations or rules made there under. Law Reform and stakeholder engagements The capital markets the world over are a heavily regulated space, justifiably so because of the investor protection mandate that securities regulators are responsible for. DELS co-ordinates the development of legislation for the enhancement of the Commission’s supervisory and capital market development mandate in Zambia. International best practice now champions a risk-based approach to anti-money laundering, counter-terrorist financing and counterproliferation financing (AML/CFT/CPF) as opposed to a compliance-based approach. In compliance with international best practice, and in order to effect consequential amendments to the Financial Intelligence Centre Act (FICA), the Ministry of Finance adopted a policy to implement a risk-based approach to AML/CFT/CPF throughout the financial sector. To this end, the Commission engaged in an amendment exercise for the implementation of a risk-based framework for AML/CFT/CPF in the supervision of the capital markets and thereby align the securities regulatory framework with international best practice. A draft bill incorporating the proposed amendments to the Act has been formulated and submitted to the Ministry of Finance for approval and onward submission to the Ministry of Justice. Furthermore, for the first time in 28 years, the Commission is spearheading a drastic overhaul of the subsidiary legislation prescribed under the Act. To this end, the Commission had commenced the process of engaging in stakeholder consultations and, with the guidance of the Business Regulatory Review Agency, will undertake a regulatory impact assessment to determine the impact of the proposed rules and regulations on business activity. To ensure widespread engagement with stakeholders, the said draft rules and regulations have been disseminated through email and published on the Commission’s website and a call for comments made on the Commission’s social media platforms. Furthermore, an advert was published in print media informing the public of the existence of the said draft legislations and requesting submissions from interested parties. The following draft subsidiary legislation form
part of the stakeholder consultations and regulatory impact assessment:
a) the Securities (Capital Market Operators) (Complaints Handling Requirements) Rules; b) the Securities (Registration of Securities) Regulations; c) the Securities (Recognition of Self-Regulating Organisations) Regulations d) the Securities (General Requirements) Rules;

e) the Securities (Capital Market Operators) (Licensing and Operations Requirements) Rules; f) the Securities (Capital Markets Operators) (General Licensing Procedures and Requirements) Regulations; g) the Securities (Collective Investment Schemes) Rules; h) the Securities (Collective Investment Schemes Authorisation) Regulations; i) the Securities (Fees and Levies) Rules, 2020; and j) the Securities (Compensation Fund) (Amendment) Regulations. In addition to the Securities Act and the rules or regulations made thereunder, the Commission employs the use of various other regulatory tools such as guidelines, directives and circulars. DELS has, in conjunction with the Directorate of Market Supervision and Development (DMSD) and the Directorate of Finance and Administration (DFA), assisted in the drafting and formulation of the following Guidelines that have been published in the Government Gazette and are in force:
a) the Securities (Commercial Paper) Guidelines, 2020; b) the Securities (Green Bond) Guidelines, 2020; c) the Securities (Real Estate Investment Trust) Guidelines, 2020; and d) the Regulatory Sandbox Guidelines for Capital Markets, 2020. The Capital Markets Tribunal A significant development introduced by the Act is the establishment a specialised adjudicator to resolve disputes between the Commission and Capital Market Operators. The Capital Markets Tribunal (Tribunal) is established under section 184(1) of the Act. On 20th May 2020, the members of the Tribunal were sworn into office by the Chief Justice of Zambia, Madam Justice Irene Mambilima. The Honourable Chief Justice, Irene Mambilima (center) poses for a picture with the Chairperson of the Tribunal, Mrs. Chanda Nkholoma Tembo (right) and the Vice Chairperson of the Tribunal, Mr. Martin Muyayi Lukwasa (left)

The Chief Justice swears Mrs. Chanda Nkholoma Tembo into the office of Chairperson of the Tribunal as the Chief Registrar, Mr. Charles Kafunda looks on In her congratulatory remarks, the Hon. Chief Justice reminded the members of the tribunal to uphold the principals of natural justice in the exercise of their duties, as well as the need for expediency in dispute resolution. Her Ladyship expressed her faith in the complimentary competencies of the members of the tribunal and emphasized the importance of their role in impacting the Zambian economy. She further advised the members of the tribunal to guard against falling into backlog and highlighted the interventions by the Judiciary in dismantling backlog through the Taskforce on Backlog created in June 2018. In order to be operational, the tribunal requires rules that govern the procedure to be applied in appeals and other proceedings before it. The draft Capital Market Tribunal Rules were therefore reviewed by the newly appointed members and subjected to a stakeholders’ consultative review on 16th July 2020, at which event representatives of DELS were present to make submissions on behalf of the Commission. The amendments suggested at the said stakeholders’ review were incorporated in the draft Rules and the draft, as reviewed have since been submitted for the consideration of the Honorable Chief Justice’s Office and will subsequently be submitted to the Ministry of Justice for finalization. The Commission awaits the operationalization of the Tribunal through the enactment of the rules to govern the Tribunal’s processes and procedures. Enforcement and legal actions taken Since the enactment of the Act, the Commission has continued to enforce the provisions of the Act against defaulting capital market operators. Depending on the circumstances of each case, the enforcement actions taken have ranged from private censures for minor infractions to

imposition of fines, revocation of licenses or taking supervisory action under section 11(4) of the Act for serious breaches of the regulatory framework. During the period under review, the Commission took supervisory possession of two major Capital Market Operators pursuant to section 11(4) of the Act to safeguard the interests of investors and ensure compliance with the Act. The Commission also revoked the licenses of two individuals that were deemed not to be fit and proper persons to hold dealer’s representative licenses. Additionally, to ensure compliance with the regulatory framework and deter would be offenders, the Commission imposed administrative penalties that consisted of private censures and imposition of administrative fines on capital market operators that breached its regulatory framework. Furthermore, in a quest to ensure compliance with Commission issued directives, the Commission imposed an administrative fine on one of the custodians of securities in the capital markets for failing and/or neglecting to comply with the directive to recompense the assets belonging to a Unit trust that should have been in its custody. This penalty will ensure that custodians observe high standards of care when discharging their duties to ensure that assets in their custody are sufficiently secured. During the period under review, DELS has also successfully represented the Commission in judicial review proceedings before the High Court for Zambia. Compliance with regulatory requirements and international best practice DELS ensures that as a financial services regulator, the Commission complies with legal and regulatory requirements that facilitate effectiveness in capital markets regulation. This includes compliance with international regulatory requirements and best practices of IOSCO, ESAAMLG, CISNA, AMERC and other regional and international bodies. DELS is the contact point for liaison with foreign capital market regulators on information sharing and exchange of information. The Commission is a signatory to the International Organisation of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Multilateral Memorandum of Understanding (MMoU). During the period under review, the Commission received two requests to conduct investigations on behalf of two different foreign regulators to investigate false and/or misleading information that had the potential to manipulate the market value of listed securities and thereby adversely affect the Zambian capital markets. One of the investigations conducted under the IOSCO MMoU resulted in the imposition of an administrative penalty on an individual who contrived section 161 (5) (d) of the Act by providing false and/or misleading information to a Commission appointed investigator during an investigation. Furthermore, as part of its regulatory role, the Commission made four requests for information to Mauritius, Seychelles, South Africa and Zimbabwe to undertake background checks to assess the fitness and probity of certain
entities intent on operating in the Zambian capital markets. With the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic, participation in the regional and international bodies to which the Commission is affiliated as a member has been limited. For instance, ESAAMLG was able to hold its regular meetings virtually and the Commission, represented by DELS and DMSD, was able to attend.

Cooperation with other financial players and stakeholders’ regulators
Section 165(1) of the Act empowers the Commission to consult and cooperate with other
regulators in the financial sector. The Act also mandates the Commission to co-operate with, provide assistance to, receive assistance from, and exchange information with, other regulatory bodies and law enforcement agencies (LEAs). In view of this mandate, the Commission has, after investigating several cases, referred the cases to organisations such as the Bank of Zambia and the Drug Enforcement Commission whenever a matter was outside the Commission’s jurisdiction. Due to the complex nature of securities transactions, the Commission has also gone a step further by assisting the organisations to which it refers matters by providing the organisations with any additional information required as well as conducting joint investigations. As such, during the period under review the Commission has investigated and referred to the Bank of Zambia several cases involving suspected pyramid schemes and money circulation schemes in contravention of the Banking and Financial Services Act, No.7 of 2017. The Commission through DELS has also referred cases involving suspected fraudulent practices and money Laundering activities to be investigated by relevant Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs) as the Commission does not have jurisdiction to undertake criminal investigations or prosecutions. MARKET TRANSACTIONS The Securities Act requires securities including collective investments schemes to be offered to the public to be registered with the Commission. The Commission also approves mergers or acquisitions involving entities whose securities are registered with the Commission. The registration of securities and authorization of CIS is among one of the ways the Commission protects investors in the capital markets, while the rules on takeovers and mergers also ensure that takeovers and mergers are conducted in an orderly manner that protects minority shareholders. The Market Transactions section within the Directorate Finance and Administration during the year ending December 2020 received and processed several applications from companies including those relating to the registration of securities, mergers and acquisitions. Waivers from certain Securities Act obligations as enshrined in the Act, and other miscellaneous market activities were also considered.
