| Summary: | The 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 endeavors to achieve
            high rates of stable, inclusive, and sustainable economic
            growth. The focus of the special topic is on the
            effectiveness of public spending on primary education and
            the means by which this can be improved. With more than half
            of Malawi’s population under the age of 18, the country
            faces significant challenges in its efforts to provide
            quality education to a growing population of students.
            Malawi also faces ongoing fiscal pressures, so there is a
            need to find ways to maximize the development impact within
            the limits of the finite resources available for investment
            in education. The MEM consists of two parts: part one
            presents a review of recent economic developments and a
            macroeconomic outlook. Part two focuses in greater depth on
            a special, selected topic relevant to Malawi’s development prospects. |
