Malawians must brace themselves for harder economic times in 2016 unlike those faced in the year ending as the Kwacha has yet again fallen against major foreign currencies with a reported increase in inflation.
Having tumbled in the year 2015, the Kwacha is now trading at MK800 against the dollar in a year it kept going down.
Against the British Pound, the Kwacha is at MK1000. Recently, an economic expert expressed no surprise at the instability of the Kwacha this year.
In an analysis of how the country fared economically, economist Nelson Mkandawire said the country started well as compared to the current economic situation.
“The country started on a higher note this year as compared to now and the high inflation rate, high bank lending rates among others show that the economy is fragile,” said the former Economics Association of Malawi (Ecama) Executive Director.
He further said that one of the contributing factors to the economic challenges were the floods the country encountered this year as most people lost their property and crops.
“Our economy is a fragile one; when one sector has been affected all the other sectors are also affected. In this respect we can see how the floods affected other sectors of the country,” he said.
Mkandawire further said that issues of cashgate and the withdrawal of aid to Malawi by donors also affected the economy of the country.
He added that he expected the public reforms to make sectors grow but this has not been the case.
Not true.

Very soon we are going to use dollar.
Malawi needs to be recolonized.please China go and be their master this time.
I have Democracy to blame for all that
Will you pliz talk about your Kwacha. When did Prophet Bushiri or Prophet TB Joshua prophecy about Pre, Mugabe. What you should know is that most of these Facebook accounts of many men of God are FAKE, there is a big scam going around so take care.
Kwacha is dead.you can abandon it and start using Chinese Yuan as Zimbabwe did.
Malawi is not supposed to float its currency coz we dont export enough to make it appreciate.
Goodall had his time ,retire him ,we have some vibrant economists, let them also try. He said that by December Malawians will be smiling but instead we are frowning.
Boma lamalawi lagwa basi!
Awa akhale maliro kudziko lonse la Malawi.
Where are you going mother Malawi?
Anthu Sadzasiya kulira father & founder of this nation coz of these painful times experienced by Malawian Citizens.

Its a known fact now to accept that this DPP regime has failed us Malawians miserably. All they do is talk but nothing is happening for the poorest Malawians. For how long are we going to be the poorest country in the world?

What are your sources? The kwa ha is internationally between 670 and 700 to USD

Please ignore the rumour that the Reserve Bank of Malawi is using my picture on the new two thousand kwacha note to be introduced. Ofcouse the government approached me but I rejected the offer for security reasons. Thank you.

Kwacha is being raped by dollar, the problem is because the leadership is visionless. he respects dollar coz he is an americano.
Thank you for that post. I would also rather you had followed about Bushiri’s prophecy on president Mugabe. Today is Jan 1.
TB Joshau also prophesied that.
What is it about?
Billygates Kachedwa kkkk so let media make a follow up!
tb Joshua , Bushiri r just the same they save the devil Lucifer! if u trust them do it in ur own risk!
#singing ,Malawi Sipa dziko!,ndingopitilila ! Ndazikundila Chuma Ku Thebaku,jon Ikodola! Ikodola Ine,ndipo Ziko La Peter Sindiyesa Kwathu! Amen!
becoz of Christ I will survive
1 to 800 ? Eish
It is newsless to hear about that now. Kwacha is always on death-bed. Always bad to worse.
Which currency market has the article quoted? Kwa ha is between 670 to around 700s
Pa Nyasaland too much ma professor a China
