Malawi is offering targeted investment opportunities in agriculture, energy and digital technology despite operating under significant macroeconomic strain, according to a new report from consultancy firm Don Consultancy Group (DCG), published on 4 August. The firm’s inaugural Malawi Pressure Index (MPI), covering June 2026, recorded a reading of 78, placing the country in the “high-pressure” category. “The strongest returns will come where private capital can substitute imports, solve structural gaps, improve productivity, earn or save foreign exchange, and strengthen value chains. Energy and renewables was also rated low-risk, given Malawi’s persistent power deficit affecting households, businesses and industry. It will transform by investing to build that stability,” the report states.
