The Zambia Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ZACCI) has reaffirmed its commitment to advocating for a better business environment and enhancement of private sector dialogue in national development planning.
ZACCI President Michael Nyirenda said his institution will continue to play its role in ensuring that business environment remains conducive for both government and private sector players through enhanced dialogue.
Mr. Nyirenda noted that the cost of doing business relatively remains high hence his institution has this year been engaging government on numerous critical issues that are affecting the business community.
He cited the introduction of Statutory Instrument number 34, accountancy fees as having substantially increased the cost of audit services and consequently the cost of doing business in the country.
He said in order to address such challenges, ZACCI used its channels of dialogue to bring the parties to find an amicable solution that were in the interest of free market operations and standard international audit practice.
