Malawi’s economy is agriculture-driven, with tobacco and tea as major exports. Market competition is constrained by high informality and infrastructure gaps. Public policies focus on poverty reduction, food security, and infrastructure, though governance challenges persist. Regulatory frameworks are weak, deterring investment. Malawian society is rural and youthful, with significant education and healthcare needs. Education access is improving, but quality remains a challenge. Healthcare infrastructure is underfunded, with disparities in rural areas. Climate vulnerabilities, including droughts and deforestation, threaten agricultural productivity. Malawi’s growth potential hinges on governance reforms and sustainable development.
