Malawi Debt Hits K7.3 Trillion

Father James Ngahy CfSC Executive Director has told a press conference in Lilongwe that Malawi's debt has reached K7.3 trillion as of September 2022 with government borrowing over K700 billion in just a period of nine months.

Ngahy said it is more worrisome that poverty levels for Malawians have also increased with people failing to meet their daily needs. "When Tonse Alliance was taking over government in June 2020, the debt levels were around K4.8 trillion and we are expecting that debt levels will go beyond 8 trillion in June this year.

"This means that the Tonse Alliance is borrowing K1 trillion every year and when you compare to the debt that we have accumulated as a country since 2006 this is the highest debt than before," said Barnard Mphepo, CfSC Programs Officer CfSC has therefore recommended that the country should avoid unnecessary borrowing, walk the talk on austerity measures that should also apply to everyone including top government officials.Read the
