Malawi President Dr. Lazarus McCarthy Chakwera emphasized that the African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank) remains a crucial partner for Malawi in fortifying the groundwork for inclusive and sustainable development. These remarks were made on September 23, 2023, during a meeting with Afreximbank’s President, Professor Benedict Oramah, in New York, United States of America (USA).

Chakwera expressed his gratitude to Professor Oramah and his team for their instrumental role in achieving the staff-level agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF). He shared this on his Facebook page, stating, “We have concurred to maintain ongoing discussions towards a well-defined plan aimed at enhancing our debt sustainability and propelling Malawi’s socioeconomic progress.”
