Malawis GDP (PPP) is estimated at $35.7 billion in 2025. Malawis economy relies on agriculture (tobacco, tea), which employs most of the population. The PPP adjustment boosts GDP due to a low cost of living. Poverty, climate change, and limited infrastructure constrain growth, while reliance on foreign aid is high. Malawi aims to diversify into agro-processing and tourism, but political instability and debt pose challenges. Investments in renewable energy and education are priorities, though economic progress depends on improving governance and resilience.
