Food prices are increasing rapidly, reaching 39. 3% year-on-year in July 2023 mainly driven by supply constraints. To contain inflationary pressures, the policy rate was increased to 24%, from 14%. With interest rates rising, the fiscal burden of debt service has increased. While foreign exchange reserves have exhibited a modest improvement, they remained low at 0. 7 months of import cover in July 2023. Recurrent climate shocks pose a considerable risk for exacerbating food supply shortages in Malawi. Coupled with persistent inflation, rising domestic prices, and an anticipated decline in per capita income, the percentage of individuals subsisting on less than $2. 15 per day (2017 PPP) is projected to increase from 71% to 72% in 2023.
The implementation of fiscal consolidation reforms has resulted in a modest decrease in expected deficits, from 11. 9% of GDP in 2022 to 10. 4% expected in 2023. However, public debt is still in distress and unsustainable, estimated to reach 80. 3% of GDP in 2023. Amidst rising interest rates and continued borrowing, interest expenditure is expected to consume 24% of the current budget. Development ChallengesLow agricultural productivity and limited commercialization has resulted in stagnant growth in incomes for the majority of Malawians. Structural challenges faced by the sector include market distortions such as price controls, trade restrictions, poorly targeted subsidies, and low access to inputs, which constrain investment and export-led growth. These effects are magnified by increasingly frequent and destructive tropical cyclones, including Cyclone Freddy in February 2023, which resulted in estimated losses and damages of more than $500 million.
The next general election is scheduled September 2025. Economic OverviewMalawi’s economy continues to be significantly weakened by frequent exogenous shocks coupled with macro-fiscal imbalances. Growth is projected to increase in 2023 to 1. 6% as electricity supply improves, compared to 0. 9% in 2022. However, severe, and persistent shortages of foreign exchange continue to subdue growth. The country is expected to secure a staff-level agreement with the IMF and return to an Extended Credit Facility by the end of 2023.
