President Professor Arthur Peter Mutharika has emphasized the need for stronger collaboration between the public and private sectors to drive Malawi’s economic growth.
Mutharika said his administration remains committed to creating a conducive environment that attracts and sustains private sector investment in the country.
The Malawi leader made the remarks on Wednesday at Kamuzu Palace in Lilongwe during a courtesy call by management of FDH Bank, led by Group Chief Executive Officer, Williams Mpinganjira.
Mutharika commended the bank for its ongoing efforts, noting that its initiatives align with government priorities in infrastructure development, education, and broader economic growth.
“We value the role the private sector plays in national development, and we will continue to support initiatives that contribute to economic transformation,” said Mutharika.
During the meeting, Mpinganjira briefed the President on key projects the bank is undertaking, including its support towards strengthening the capacity of the Malawi Mining Corporation.
He also highlighted the bank’s involvement in financing major infrastructure projects such as the Golomoti–Monkey Bay Turn-off Road.
Mpinganjira further said the bank is investing in the education sector through the construction of student hostels and a K1 billion grant to the Student Loans Board to assist needy students in accessing higher education.
“We are committed to supporting national development through strategic investments that uplift communities and expand opportunities for Malawians,”
said Mpinganjira.
