The Zambian financial services sector has continued to experience growth following liberalisation of the economy in the 1990s. The banking sector has particularly seen the introduction of many international banks over the last two decades. As a developing country, it is expected that Zambia will continue to grow its banking and finance sectors. Such growth in these and related sectors require a cadre of properly trained and experienced finance professional to manage the sector.
