Realizing this potential requires mobilizing private capital to address Malawi’s development constraints. Private investment is critical to expand exports, improve export performance, reduce macroeconomic imbalances linked to foreign exchange shortages, and support higher-productivity, better-paying employment in key sectors.","Public Disclosure Authorized  \nMalawi:  \nCountry Private Sector Diagnostic  \nEXECUTIVE SUMMARY  \nJUNE 2026  \nPub lic Disclosure Authorized Pub lic Disc losure Authorized Pub lic Disclosure Authorized  \nAbout the Country Private Sector Diagnostic  \nThe private sector is an engine of long-term economic growth and a catalyst for global social and economic development. When functioning well, it promotes innovation and entrepreneurship, improves access to and the quality of economic opportunities, and supports the sustainable use of natural resources. In developing economies, the private sector creates the vast majority of jobs, generates tax revenue, and accounts for significant investment.  \nThe Country Private Sector Diagnostic (CPSD) reports seek to unlock private investment and job creation through policy action to remove impediments to private investment. Prepared jointly by the institutions of the World Bank Group, each report analyzes specific sectors of the economy in which increased private investment could accelerate growth if appropriate policy and regulatory issues are addressed.  \nDesigned from the perspective of an investor or entrepreneur, CPSDs seek to identify untapped private investment opportunities and the barriers that stand in their way (earlier reports can be found here) . Subsectors of the economy are chosen based on their potential to attract private investment, create more and better jobs, generate domestic revenue, and foster sustainable, inclusive growth in response to targeted policy action. The report aims to help policy makers prioritize impactful actions that can be taken in the near term to remove disincentives to private investment, while delivering on broader development goals.  \nThe CPSD is a core country diagnostic of the World Bank Group produced to guide the design and implementation of country strategies, public and private investment projects, budget support operations, advisory services, and other analytical work. It is intended to be of interest to domestic and foreign investors, government officials, Bank Group staff and management, civil society, and other development partners.  \nCPSDs are a central instrument of the World Bank Group’s jobs agenda as articulated in the 2025 Development Committee (DC) Paper on Jobs: The Path to Prosperity, which emphasizes translating private sector development into large-scale employment opportunities. CPSDs support this agenda by providing countrylevel, sector-specific diagnostics that help identify systemic barriers to private investment critical to job creation. They also align with the DC’s three-part approach to private sector development and job creation: investing in  \nhuman capital and infrastructure to establish the basic preconditions for job, supporting business-enabling policies, and mobilizing private capital at scale to help firms create more and better jobs.  \nMalawi:  \nCountry Private Sector Diagnostic  \nEXECUTIVE SUMMARY  \nJune 2026  \nAcknowledgments  \nThis Country Private Sector Diagnostic (CPSD) was prepared by a joint International Finance Corporation and World Bank team led by Senidu Fanuel and Andrew Myburgh.  \nThe team included Philip Grinsted, Rachel Sebudde, Pedro Andres Amo, Santiago Marron, Nisachol Mekharat, Miles McKenna, Efrem Zephnath Chilima, Victor Mponda Banda, Innocent Njati Banda, and Jessica Wade.  \nThis CPSD benefited from the guidance and oversight provided by Paolo Mauro, Nathan Belete, Mary Porter Peschka, Jeffrey Chelsky, Alwaleed Alatabani, and Paramita Dasgupta.
