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.

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
