The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) of Zambia is a statutory body established under the repealed Securities Act, Cap. 354 of the Laws of Zambia, and whose existence is continued under the Securities Act, No. 41 of 2016. The SEC is mandated to regulate and promote the orderly development of the Zambian Capital Markets. Its responsibilities include licensing financial intermediaries and securities exchanges, registering securities such as debt and equity instruments, and authorizing collective investment schemes.

The SEC now invites applications for the 2025 Graduate Trainee Program, an initiative designed to develop the Commission’s institutional competencies by identifying and nurturing highly talented recent graduates from reputable institutions. The program provides trainees with a structured development plan under the guidance of experienced mentors, equipping them with the SEC’s core competencies and preparing them for future leadership roles.
