The World Bank conducts investment
climate assessments (ICAs) across the globe to analyze
private sector performance and to determine principal
constraints affecting the private sector in respective
countries. The 2016 Malawi ICA focuses on supporting
dialogue on investment climate by analyzing the challenges
reported by private enterprises in the country. It is the
second in a series, following the first one that was
published in 2006. The 2016 Malawi ICA is based on the
analysis of results from the World Bank enterprise survey
conducted in 2014. Regression analysis on productivity
levels of firms was conducted to present some insights into
the competitiveness of manufacturing firms. The productivity
analysis reveals that firms in Malawi have higher levels of
labor productivity and capital intensity, but lower levels
of capital productivity than their counterparts in
neighboring countries. Unit labor costs are lower than in
most comparator countries. The results are predominantly
with respect to large firms, with medium firms in Malawi
facing lower levels of labor productivity and capital
intensity, but higher levels of labor costs than small and
large firms. Apart from the foregoing measures of partial
productivity, total factor productivity is lower than in
most comparator countries. |
