What happened

The World Bank praised the Malawi government for demonstrating improved financial discipline, noting that public finances are showing signs of recovery after years of double-digit deficits. The overall budget deficit for the 2025/26 financial year was 8.8% of GDP, a reduction of 1.7 percentage points from the previous year. This improvement is attributed to stronger revenue collection and more disciplined spending, including a VAT rate increase to 17.5%.
