With this independence, the Reserve Bank of Malawi has the full mandate to conduct monetary policy whereas fiscal policy issues are the mandate of the Ministry of Finance. The Reserve Bank of Malawi therefore has to ensure that fiscal developments are consistent with monetary developments. This Act includes detailed information on:

  • Organization and administration;
  • Legal tender;
  • Foreign assets;
