As a reluctant foreign investor I would like to voice my opinion on this issue: There are many reasons why Foreign investors are not investing in Malawi, here are some of them. 1) Corruption at all levels of Govt. 2) Bureaucracy & Inefficiency Govt. Depts. 3) High Import duties on Machinery and Raw Materials 4) Inadequate and Expensive transport systems 5) Poor and expensive communications 6) Lack of skilled workers / poor schooling 7) Poor health services 8) Crime & Theft 9) Complicated and bureaucratic Tax collection system 10) Inadequate Utilities (Water, Electricity and Sewerage) I could write at length… Read more »
Why are Malawians also note encouraged to invest. Must investment always come from outside. Did foreigners invest in the UK, USA, China, Malaysia etc for them to develop. Why should we the owners of the country be playing secon fiddle?

Malawi is not conducive for FDI, unless we change that stupid policy of free market economy to protectionism then investers will have confidence in our economy. SA, Uganda, Rwanda are doing fine because of that.
The big problem is electricity to most business people. Kafunseni a zigayo, a ma computer cafés etc amawerukiramo tsiku lonse opanda olo 10 Kwacha.Ili ndi vuto la tsiku ndi tsiku.If only this could be resolved, a FDIs could have come quickly.Manufactures for export would not get bothered about currency depreciation as they trade in US$. This would be good for the country and the currency would eventually pick up.
why are you hiding the mineral reports you fucken people? . Tell us the truth about diamond deposite we need to start mining before your stupid appex who is still stealing our rubies at chimwadzulu hill. Mr president and mr of mining what are you doing with our rubies in mtonda?, do you want indians became rich because of our resources.
Investors will only invest if there is a stable Kwacha currency, they would not like to come here invest there forex and and then see there investments value eroded by devaluation of kwacha. Government please lets have a stable currency if we cannot do that then lets not have hope of attracting investors
Is he talking about Rwandese , Nigerians , Tanzanians , Congolese and Ethiopians investors ? We are only seeing foreigners grabbing our fertile land .
Go on Peter
