| Summary: | This Malawi Economic Monitor (MEM)
provides an analysis of economic and structural development
issues in Malawi. The aim of the publication is to foster
better-informed policy analysis and debate regarding the key
challenges that Malawi faces in its endeavor to achieve high
rates of stable, inclusive and sustainable economic growth.
The MEM consists of two parts: Part 1 presents a review of
recent economic developments and a macroeconomic outlook.
Part 2 focuses on a special selected topic relevant to
Malawi’s development prospects. In this edition, the special
topic focuses on Social Safety Nets. Safety nets are
playing an increasing role in promoting equity,
strengthening resilience, and improving long-term human
capital outcomes. There is now robust evidence to
demonstrate that social safety nets can be an efficient
means to break the cycle of poverty and vulnerability in
Malawi. The key messages of this edition of the MEM are
about economic recovery and cautious optimism. |
