AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Forex squeeze hits essentials: The Reserve Bank of Malawi admits it can’t reliably allocate foreign exchange for fuel and medicines, forcing painful trade-offs as reserves fall far below the import-cover benchmark. Fuel price anger spreads: Malawians are venting over another fuel hike, warning transport and food costs will rise again amid blackouts and water shortages. Roads and costs collide: A dual carriageway for the Blantyre–Lilongwe M1 is back in the spotlight after Mutharika’s slow, pothole-filled trip—while activists demand the government scrap new road traffic fines as “adding salt to injury.” Governance pressure builds: An Auditor General report flags K5.98bn irregularities across 30 councils, while criticism grows over parastatals allegedly paying two top executives for one role. Energy access gap exposed: Research says Malawi’s off-grid solar boom is bypassing the poorest, with many low-capacity systems abandoned within a year. Trade fair momentum: MCCCI targets 200+ exhibitors for MITF 2026, betting on production and industrialisation to steady the economy.
