Malawi mines absent from Commonwealth investment plan
The Commonwealth Investment Platform lists 115 projects worth US$52.9bn but omits mining infrastructure.
Malawi's mining projects are missing from the Commonwealth's US$52.9bn investment pipeline, despite the nation's mines entering production and reforms gaining traction.
The Commonwealth Investment Platform, launched in Antigua, lists 115 projects from 28 developing countries, but includes no mining operations or related infrastructure like power and rail.
Malawi's own submissions to the platform focus on tourism resorts, reflecting the government's growth strategy, while the absence of mining packages highlights a structural issue in how national submissions are compiled.
Why it mattersMalawi's mining sector, poised for production, is not being supported by the Commonwealth's new investment diplomacy.
