Since its Independence in 1964, Malawi's growth in output and investment has been impressive. During the three years 1965-67, total production has averaged one-third above the level of the previous three year period. This is explained partly by improved weather for agriculture, but mainly by improved political conditions following an uneasy situation 'which characterized the period just prior to and just after Independence. With the resolution of these difficulties, confidence of the private sector recovered sharply during l965, while expanded government develop- rent efforts helped to evoke a substantial increase in response from the farmers. Total investment recovered from a low point of 8 percent of GDP Ln 1964 to a peak of 20 percent in 1966, reflecting both important swings in inventories and a large rise in private and public fixed capital form- ation. During 1967 the economic situation has been less buoyant than the iprevious two years, but the main dynamic elements continue to be in evidence. 2. Nevertheless, the basic situation of Malawi remains quite difficult. Despite large increases in per capita income in the past three years, the level remains among the lowest in the world -- around $55 per head. No large mineral resources are available for quick exploitation. One-fourth of the male labor force is employed outside the country, but it is doubtful that any large expansion can be achieved in this source of employment over the long term. The main potential for growth lies in agri- culture where the volume of commercial output has grown by six percent annually over the past decade, with a marked acceleration in recent years. Even here, an important long-run problem is posed by the relationship between the size of' the population, which is growing at around 3 percent annually, and the comnparatively modest amount of good farming land which still remains uncultivated. However, there are good possibilities for increasing yields. There is also a potential for expansion of the very small manufacturing sector, mainly for import substitution, but possibly also for export in some lines, Moreover, some prospects exist for expanding external earnings from tourism and transit trade. These possibilities, together with the progress actually achieved in the recent past, suggest that Malawi can maintain a healthy rate of economic expansion in the years ahead. Assuming that efficient administration is maintained, export growth of around 7 per- cent annually would seem feasible over the next decade, while total output could well expand at a 6 percent rate. 3. However, to achieve such growth rates will require continued large amounts of external aid and prudent economic management by the Malawi Government, particularly of external aid and of its limited domestic re- sources, including its foreign assets. There are indications that the latter were being utilized during 1966 and 1967 at rates which cannot be sustained for long without leading to foreign exchange difficulties. 4. With domestic savings averaging only about 2 percent of GDP during 1965 and 1966, the high rate of investment in those years led to a current balance of payments deficit corresponding to about 17 percent of GDP. During 1965, the deficit was more than covered by public foreign grants and loans, and foreign exchange reserves rose to the equivalent of (vi) over 4 months' imports of goods and services. However, in 1966 a decline in external assistance was accompanied by a large increase in use of local f'inancial resources including large borrowings from the banking system, with the result that exchange reserves dropped by about f2.7 million, or over one-quarter the end 1965 level.

  • Lake Malawi Destination Guide
    Lake Malawi Destination Guide Overview of Lake Malawi Occupying a fifth of the country, Lake Malawi is the third largest lake in Africa and home to more fish species than any other lake in the world. Also known as Lake Nyasa, it is often referred to as 'the calendar lake' because it is 365 miles (590km) long and 52 miles (85km) wide. Situated between Malawi, Mozambique and Tanzania, this African Great Lake is about 40,000 years old, a product of the Great Rift Valley fault line. There are fishing villages to be found along the lakeshore where residents catch a range of local fish including chambo, kampango (catfish), lake salmon and tiger fish. The export of fish from the lake contributes significantly to the country's economy, and the delicious chambo, similar to bream, is served in most Malawian eateries. Visitors to Lake Malawi can see colourful mbuna fish in the water, while there are also occasional sightings of crocodiles, hippos, monkeys and African fish eagles along the shore. The nearby Eastern Miombo woodlands are home to African wild dogs. Swimming, snorkelling and diving are popular activities in the tropical waters of the lake, and many visitors also enjoy waterskiing, sailing and fishing. There are many options available for holiday accommodation at the lake, including resorts, guesthouses and caravan or camping parks. All budgets are catered for, with luxury lodges attracting the glamorous and humble campsites hosting families and backpackers. Cape Maclear is a well-developed lakeside town, and nearby Monkey Bay is a great holiday resort area. Club Makokola, near Mangochi, is also a popular resort.

    WP/02/6 IMF Working Paper Financial Reforms and Interest Rate Spreads in the Commercial Banking System in Malawi Montfort Mlachila and Ephraim W. Chirwa INTERNATIONAL MONETARY FUND © 2002 International Monetary Fund WP/02/6 IMF Working Paper Policy Development and Review Department Financial Reforms and Interest Rate Spreads in the Commercial Banking System in Malawi Prepared by Montfort Mlachila and Ephraim W. Chirwa1 Authorized for distribution by Doris C. Ross 1anuary 2002 Abstract The views expressed in this Working Paper are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily represent those of the IMF or IMF policy. Working Papers describe research in progress by the author(s) and are published to elicit comments and to further debate. This study investigates the impact of financial sector reforms on interest rate spreads in the commercial banking system in Malawi. The financial reform program commenced in 1989 when both the Reserve Bank Act and the Banking Act were revised with the easing of entry requirements into the banking system, and indirect monetary policy instruments were subsequently introduced in 1990. The adoption of a floating exchange rate in 1994 marked the end of major policy reforms in the Malawian financial sector. Using alternative definitions of spreads, our analysis shows that spreads increased significantly following liberalization, and panel regression results suggest that the observed high spreads can be attributed to high monopoly power, high reserve requirements, high central bank discount rate and high inflation. JEL Classification Numbers:E43; G21; L13 Keywords: Commercial banks; interest spreads; financial liberalization; Malawi Author's E-Mail Address: [email protected], [email protected] 1 Ephraim Chirwa is at the Department of Economics, Chancellor College, University of Malawi.

    Classification of Accounts Guide Last updated – January 2018 Contents Part I: General introduction Part II: Residence Part III: Sector categories Part IV.1 – IV.2: Industrial classification Part IV.3: Relationship between sector and industrial classifications Part V.1: Sector components (ESA 10) and sub components Part V.2: List of countries 1 Part I Classification of Accounts Guide – General Introduction I.1 Foreword This guide is intended for all institutions completing a range of Bank of England statistical returns. It describes the two most important systems of classification used in compiling economic and financial statistics in the United Kingdom – the economic sector classification, and the industrial classification. This guide is intended to serve both as an introduction for newcomers and as a source of reference. The nomenclature in the sector classification is in line with international standards – in particular, the European System of National and Regional Accounts (abbreviated to ‘ESA10’). In addition, the analysis of industrial activity is in line with the 2007 standard industrial classification of economic activities (SIC) introduced by the Office for National Statistics. Those without knowledge of accounts classification are recommended to refer to the ‘Guide to Classification’ (Part I Section 3) which takes the reader through the main questions to be answered to help classify accounts correctly. The system of classification used in this guide is solely for statistical purposes. Parts II to IV of the guide describe the main aspects of the classification system in more detail, including lists of examples of institutions, or a web link reference, for many categories. I.2 An introduction to the classification of accounts Sector and industrial classification To understand the underlying behaviour which is reflected in movements in economic and financial statistics, it is necessary to group those entities engaged in financial transactions into broad sectors with similar characteristics.
