These investors have Ambassadors in Malawi who gives them first hand information. They know about security issues and electricity issues. These investors would want production. How is that going to be possible with the current situation. The other day we were told electricity issues will be sorted out in 3years time. The economy is nit stable. These investors are not insane. They wouldn’t invest in unstable Country. Things on the ground needs to be sorted out before wooing them. We are a laughingstock. The Country has lost direction, things are bad.

We should just hope that the discovery of rare earth minerals and other minerals once mined will change everything for the better. There will be no worry for forex as these commodities are exported and traded in US$. Once in full ram

What assurance are you giving these investors that they will have the much needed electricity in their businesses? This is just a waste of time and resources. You know well that no sane investor can show up in a country with only 3 hours of electricity in a day. Unless he wants to invest in electricity himself because that’s a potential business interest. The failure to increase electricity generation capacity shows that shows that Malawi is NOT up and ready for any economic transformation. Anything good for the economy and social well being requires reliable availability of energy. I am… Read more »

For investors to come you need a stable currency and low inflation which can only be acheived if we fix the kwacha, IMF has to be convinced by the Government that free floating has and is not working for Malawi. Under the current system we can forget about investors nonody will invest to lose money

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….. Ever wondered how disturbing a small leak in the roof of a house can be, especially at night when sleep calls? Malawi is a house that’s leaking almost on every corner of her roof and no any sane and honest investor would want to be housed hence lose sleep under that roof. …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….. Investors are not idiots, this we shall say again. Although Malawi’s interest rates are high hence attractive to investors on return, the high inflation stands ready to savagely bite the investors’ butt. Unstable currency is there to surprise the investor. As such the return from higher… Read more »

Looks like APM was the only Head of State at the forum if the picture is anything to go by. One may wish to ask as to why other Presidents were not there. I think they know that Commonwealth meetings are increasingly becoming irrelevant in the modern global settings and countries obtain little or no benefits from them. And of all investments surely we want establishment of private hospitals and yet we are drawing cold feet over the introduction of user fees in public hospitals? Any potential investor would look at scenarios like these and conclude that investment in health… Read more »
