The Southern African Development Community (SADC) will hold a Meeting of the Committee of Ministers of Finance and Investment and the Peer Review Panel on 2 July 2026 in Harare, Zimbabwe to strengthen cooperation and coordination of investment, financial and capital market integration, and macroeconomic surveillance mechanisms to achieve sustainable economic development and inclusive growth in the SADC region.
The meeting will be chaired by Enoch Godongwana, Minister of Finance of the Republic of South Africa in his capacity as the Chairperson of the SADC Committee of Ministers of Finance and Investment.
The Ministers’ Meeting will be preceded by the meeting of Senior Treasury and Central Bank Officials on 29–30 June 2026. These Senior Officials serve as both a clearing and advisory committee, providing technical input to inform the Ministers’ deliberations.
The SADC Protocol on Finance and Investment provides the legal framework for regional cooperation and harmonisation in finance, investment, and macroeconomic policy.
It emphasises aligning Member States’ financial and investment policies with SADC’s overarching objectives to prevent policy shifts in one country from adversely affecting others.
The Committee of SADC Ministers of Finance and Investment facilitates regional integration, cooperation, and coordination in these sectors, aiming to diversify and expand productive activities, enhance trade, and support sustainable economic growth and poverty reduction. It also seeks to foster a favourable investment climate, promote and attract investment, ensure macroeconomic stability and convergence, and strengthen cooperation on taxation and related matters across the region.
