| Summary: | The Malawi Economic Monitor (MEM)
provides ananalysis of economic and structural
developmentissues in Malawi. This edition of the MEM
waspublished in October 2016. It follows on from thethree
previous editions of the MEM, and is part of an ongoing
series, with future editions to follow twiceper year. 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 MEM consists
of two parts: Part one presents areview of recent economic
developments and amacroeconomic outlook. Part two focuses in
greater depth on a special, selected topic relevant to
Malawi’s development prospects.In this edition of the MEM,
the focus of the specialtopic is on poverty and
vulnerability. At a time when Malawi is experiencing a
second successive year offood insecurity, the special topic
focuses on the key factors that have led to persistently
high povertyrates in rural areas, with these factors
contributing significantly to vulnerability to the impact of
climate shocks. The special topic also identifies and
describes potential pathways and reforms thatcould help
Malawi improve its level of resilience to better manage the
impact of future shocks. |
