The economy of Malawi is $7.522 billion by gross domestic product as of 2019, and is predominantly agricultural, with about 80% of the population living in rural areas. The landlocked country in south central Africa ranks among the world's least developed countries and poorest countries. Approximately 50% of the population lives below the national poverty line, with 25% living in extreme poverty.
In 2017, agriculture accounted for about one-third of GDP and about 80% of export revenue. The economy depends on substantial inflows of economic assistance from the IMF, the World Bank, and individual donor nations. The IMF and World Bank has spearheaded structural reforms in Malawi for decades.
The government faces strong challenges: to spur exports, to improve educational and health facilities, to face up to environmental problems of deforestation and erosion, and to deal with the problem of HIV/AIDS in Africa.
Wanajeshi wa Malawi, waliokuwa mashariki mwa DRC, kupitia SADEC, leo wamerudishwa nchini kwao.
Ni katika jitihada za kuhakikisha kusitisha mapigano kati ya serikali na M23 yanafikiwa kwa uhuru. Kuondoka kwao, kutaihakikishia M23 kuwa serikali ina nia ya kuleta amani ya kudumu.
