AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Fuel & Transport Relief: MERA cut Malawi’s maximum pump prices effective 19 June—petrol to K5,619/l (down 9.5%), diesel to K6,306/l (down 5.7%) and kerosene to K4,771/l (down 16.43%)—but CDEDI says the reduction is too small after fuel hikes and calls for deeper cost cuts. Cost of Living Reality Check: Malawi’s inflation eased to 23.4% in May from 24.3% as food inflation fell to 17.6%, yet non-food inflation stayed high at 33% and forex shortages keep essentials expensive. Energy Operations: EGENCO plans a 7am–2pm shutdown of Tedzani Hydropower Station on 21 June for sediment flushing, with other plants expected to cover demand. Regulation & Consumer Safety: CFTC found 649 expired products in 14 shops across several districts, urging buyers to check expiry dates and certification marks. Agribusiness Resilience: Tea researchers urged farmers in Mulanje to adopt improved, climate- and pest-resistant varieties to protect yields and quality. Local Infrastructure Pressure: Paramount Chief Kyungu warned the Karonga–Chiweta M1 road is worsening access to markets, healthcare and education, raising transport costs and post-harvest losses. Governance & Accountability: A debate is growing over the DPP’s practice of dropping cases, with analysts warning of unchecked accountability. Humanitarian Logistics: Repatriation from Durban continues as more buses arrive at Sherwood Hall, where overcrowding remains severe for stranded Malawians.
