The results indicate that the country has failed to achieve meaningful gains in its developmental agendas in view significant adverse movement in the exchange rate. There was however one exception with Malawi Growth and Development Strategy (2006-2011) when the exchange rate was stable. National Planning Commission should consider safeguards in the Vision 2063 by curbing illegal externalisation of forex as sustainable tool to avoid depreciation and devaluation of the Malawi Kwacha.
