NAPSA Contributions Surge to K10.4 billion, Signalling Strong Growth for Zambia's Pension Sector

Zambia's National Pension Scheme Authority (NAPSA) has recorded a landmark rise in contributions and sponsorship, with figures surging to K10.4 billion in 2025, up from K8.6 billion in 2024, representing a substantial year-on-year increase that underscores the growing strength of the country's social security system.

The impressive growth reflects both an expanding formal workforce and increased compliance among employers, signalling broader confidence in Zambia's economic trajectory under the UPND administration.

Director General Muyangwa Muyangwa welcomed the milestone, noting that the surge provides a strong foundation for the Authority to deliver enhanced benefits and investment returns to its 1.3 million active members.

The results also demonstrate that NAPSA is growing in size and confidence. Under Mr Muyangwa's leadership, the Authority has pursued an ambitious 2022–2026 strategic plan to diversify its investment portfolio, deepen membership, and modernise service delivery through digitalisation.

With aspirations to reach a K100 billion fund by 2026, the latest contribution figures suggest NAPSA is firmly on track. For Zambia's workers, the numbers translate into greater long-term income security  and a pension authority increasingly capable of playing a pivotal role in the country's economic development.
