AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

Industrial Investment: Mining minister Thoko Tembo toured Portland Cement Malawi’s K200bn Balaka plant, calling it a major boost for local manufacturing, jobs and reduced cement imports. Infrastructure Finance: FDH Bank and National Bank of Malawi set aside K100bn to fund the Golomoti–Monkey Bay Road, a 58.4km corridor expected to run in two lots over 24 months. Power & Energy Storage: ESCOM is set to commission a K33bn 20MW/40MWh battery system to stabilise the grid and improve renewable integration. Construction Safety: A Blantyre building wall collapse that killed three has pushed MPs to demand stronger building safety enforcement, faster court action and better urban planning. Agribusiness & Food Security: Malawi is considering tax and duty waivers for fish cage farming to cut input costs and grow aquaculture as wild stocks decline. Trade & Exports: The EU extended Malawi’s GSP preferences for 2026–2036, supporting exports including clothing, fish and chemicals. Debt & Fiscal Rules: Parliament’s Budget and Finance Committee wants a Debt Management Bill to curb borrowing, as public debt is put at about K24tn (around 90% of GDP). Cost Pressures: Diesel and petrol imports surged, worsening forex strain and feeding the wider cost-of-living squeeze.
