Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>Malawi President Dr Lazarus Chakwera has called for the country to transition to a digital economy, saying this is key to increasing upward mobility and access to financial services.<\/p>\n

Chakwera added that transitioning to the digital economy will offer opportunities for upward economic mobility and access to services such as e-Learning, e-Health, e-Government, among others.<\/p>\n

The Malawi leader made the sentiments after meeting a group of Pan African investors on the sidelines of the 78th Session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York, USA\/<\/p>\n

Chakwera said the investors have expressed eagerness to explore and support Malawi in streamlining digital capabilities across all the key sectors of the economy.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe team comprised representatives from Africa Centre for Advanced Technology, Helping Hands Organisation, Attoban Inc. and Government of Uganda. The delegation are members of the PLO Lumumba investment delegation that I met last month in Lilongwe,\u201d he wrote on his Facebook page.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will continue engaging one another so that Malawi should in the foreseeable future fully use technology as a stimulator of economic growth through increased productivity, job creation and entrepreneurship,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n
