this is so unreasonable. its not stable yet! imagine the difference just for a short while; k169-k735/750? is this not a k1000? lets call a spade a spade and not otherwise. focus on the strategies that will make it regain the value and not sitting back and contented like this, this is being chicken headed!!

What kind of collapsing do you mean? Mr. Chuka if you don’t have anything tangible to share with amphawi koma odzitsata just remain silent. Malawi has already collapsed. You mean you can’t see for yourself? From K160 = $1 May 2014 to K750 =$1 Jan 2016 where is the dividing line, your silly mouth?

The excessive depreciation this year is due to the blunder by Leserve Bank to allow exporters like Limbe leaf,JTI africa to keep there export proceeds in Dollars in full, after introduction of this 2015 policy these exportes and NGOs send quotes to each bank and force them to offer them higher rates, this has contributed to the Collapse of Malawi Kwacha and the economy. Why give exporters 100% before it was only 60% that helped kwacha to be stable. It is funny when we had less import cover Kwacha is stable and now we have import cover kwacha is nosediving.… Read more »
