The Bankers Association of Malawi (BAM) has commended President Professor Arthur Peter Mutharika for championing reforms that are steering the country's economy in the right direction.

BAM President Philip Madinga made the remarks today at Kamuzu Palace after meeting with President Mutharika.

Madinga cited falling inflation—which dropped from 28.2% in August 2025 to 20.0% in August 2026—and a lower interest rate, which moved from 26.0% in August 2025 to 24.0% this August, as key indicators that the economy is moving in the right direction.

"We have commended the President because, since he returned to power, we have seen economic progress. Inflation is going down, and significant strides are being made toward economic recovery," Madinga said.

Speaking after meeting with the Bankers Association, President Mutharika expressed enthusiasm that BAM is prepared to partner with the government in key sectors, such as tourism, agriculture, infrastructure, and mining.

"We had an extremely fruitful meeting. Crucially, we have agreed to work together to advance the country's economy in key sectors such as agriculture, mining, and infrastructure development," President Mutharika said.

Mwanamvekha Calls for Private Capital to Support Malawi’s Infrastructure Development

Minister of Finance, Economic Planning and Decentralization Hon. Joseph Mathyola Mwanamvekha MP has called for stronger partnerships between Government, the private sector, development partners and communities to mobilise sustainable financing for infrastructure development in Malawi.

Speaking as Guest of Honour last night at the Public Private Partnership Commission (PPPC) Financing Forum at Bingu International Convention Centre (BICC) in Lilongwe, Mwanamvekha said infrastructure is critical to achieving the Malawi 2063 and First 10-Year Implementation Plan (MIP-1) goals.

Mwanamvekha highlighted key infrastructure priorities including power generation, roads, railways, industrial parks, export processing zones, airports, inland water transport and access to the sea.

He said Malawi faces challenges such as limited fiscal space, high borrowing costs and perceived investment risks, while noting that Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs), blended financing and innovative instruments such as infrastructure bonds and green financing can help unlock private capital.

The function was attended by Minister of Information Dr. Shadreck Namalomba MP, Hon. Charles Mhango, Deputy Minister of Health Hon. Charles Chalambula MP, Minister of Energy Hon. Jean Mathanga MP, Deputy Minister of Education Hon. Francis Folley MP, FDH Bank CEO William Mpinganjira, Standard Bank Malawi CEO Philip Madinga, Secretary to the Treasury Dr. Cliff Chiunda and other government officials and stakeholders.

Seoul - Korea

Mwanamvekha holds talks with the Korean Deputy Minister of Finance in Seoul.

Malawi’s finance team is working overtime in Seoul—turning the KOAFEC conference into a deal-making hub for grants, investment and technical support.

Finance Minister Joseph Mwanamvekha has met with AfDB President Sidi Ould Tah and South Korea’s Deputy Minister of Finance and Economy Jinsung Moon to push for resources to boost Malawi’s budget.

“The meeting has offered us an opportunity to engage further with the Bank but also the Korean government.

The two partners are willing to partner us in our development efforts,” said the minister, who also shared investment opportunities available in Malawi with the Korean deputy minister of finance.

“Korea says it is ready to explore investment opportunities in Malawi but also help us with skills transfer in technology. This is important if we are to create a productive economy,” said the minister.

Minister Moon said Korea remains committed to supporting African partners, positioning Malawi to tap into grants, concessional loans and private-sector opportunities that could boost key sectors.
