RBM Governor Supports Improved Liquidity Support for Africa

The Governor of the Reserve Bank of Malawi Dr. George Partridge has called on African countries and development partners to collaborate in securing faster, fairer, and better-structured liquidity support for the continent.

Dr. Partridge made the call during a High-Level Panel discussion organized by Africa Economic Research Consortium, Climate Vulnerable Forum, and partners on the sidelines of the African Development Bank Annual Meetings in Brazzaville, Republic of Congo. He noted that timely access to finance is critical for resilience and sustainable growth.

He highlighted that in Malawi, climate change is not just an environmental challenge but is also a financial sector and economic growth issue. “Climate shocks are a threat to the financial sector asset quality, inflation stability, and a strain on fiscal and external balances." He said.

It is in this light that the RBM is taking steps to strengthen resilience by promoting climate risk awareness in financial institutions, encouraging the integration of Environmental Social Governance (ESG) and climate considerations into governance and lending frameworks, strengthening macroprudential surveillance, and supporting the development of climate-resilient and inclusive financial solutions.

The sentiments were echoed by Bank of Zambia Deputy Governor Operations Dr. Francis Chipimo who noted that similar experience with climatic related shocks in Zambia and elsewhere have triggered new thinking on how central bank traditional mandate should be anchored to cushion the impact on financial sector and the general economy.

RBM Calls for Strong Governance and Sustainable Practices to Grow Malawi’s Economy

The Reserve Bank of Malawi (RBM) has called for strengthened governance systems and the integration of sustainability principles in the built environment to support Malawi’s economic transformation agenda.

Delivering her keynote address at the Surveyors Institute of Malawi (SIM) Mid-Year Continuing Professional Development (CPD) conference in Lilongwe on 20th May 2026, RBM Executive Director for Corporate Services, Mrs. Mercy Kumbatira, stressed that strong governance, transparency, and professional integrity among surveyors are critical in unlocking investment and fostering financial sector confidence.

Mrs. Kumbatira highlighted that reliable property valuations, transparent land management systems, and sound project costing are essential to anchor prudent lending decisions and reduce financial risks. “When governance is strong, capital flows, projects rise, and economies grow,” she noted.

She therefore concluded by calling on surveyors and related professionals to uphold high standards of ethics, quality, and accountability, noting that their work is pivotal in shaping Malawi’s economic future.

In his speech, the Minister of Lands and Urban Development, Honourable Chimwemwe Chipungu reaffirmed the government’s commitment to strengthening the land and built sector by proposing reforms, including new laws and regulatory bodies, to improve efficiency in land administration.

Surveyors Institute of Malawi Vice President, Mr. Emmanuel Thawani, said the institute is committed to promoting good governance and excellence in land and surveying. He also urged academic institutions to produce well-trained, highly professional surveyors.
