I am pleased to note that banks in Malawi are strong enough to be able to foster the development that we all desire to have. But perhaps, more needs to be done to make banking more accommodating of the needs of the private sector.
I would also like to see banks applying more innovation in serving some of the important but under-served sectors such as agriculture, tourism, to name but a few. The financing for the production of exports is really what will take this country forward. I am pleased to note that there are a few investors in Malawi who have taken up production for exports.
