Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>Few days after World Bank report showed that most Malawians are depressed, Afrobarometer Round 9 survey has revealed overwhelming popular dissatisfaction with the government\u2019s handling of the economy, with nearly nine out of 10 Malawians (89%) say the country is heading \u201cin the wrong direction.\u201d<\/p>\n

It further damns that most Malawians express pessimism about the country\u2019s direction, and few are optimistic that things will get better anytime soon.<\/p>\n

The survey was done by the Afro barometer team in Malawi, led by the Centre for Social Research, and it interviewed a nationally representative sample of 1,200 adult Malawians in April 2022, a sample which its size yields country-level results with a margin of error of +\/-3 percentage points at a 95% confidence level.<\/p>\n

Dispatched on March 8, the survey further reveal that large majorities offer negative assessments of economic conditions: 85% describe the country\u2019s economic situation as \u201cfairly bad\u201d or \u201cvery bad,\u201d and 74% say the same about their personal living conditions.<\/p>\n

\u201cLooking ahead, Malawians are pessimistic about the country\u2019s economy: Only 16% think things will get better in 12 months\u2019 time, while 63% expect them to get worse. More than eight in 10 citizens say the government is performing \u201cfairly badly\u201d or \u201cvery badly\u201d on management of the economy (85%) and other key economic tasks,\u201d shows the survey.<\/p>\n

What tops the list among people interviewed is the management of the economy and most Malawians want their government to address it.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlmost two-thirds (63%) of citizens say they went without a cash income \u201cmany times\u201d or \u201calways\u201d during the previous year, and 35% frequently went without enough food.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlmost four in 10 Malawians (37%) experienced high levels of lived poverty during the past year, while another 38% experienced moderate lived poverty,\u201d reads the survey.<\/p>\n

The survey warns that as majorities of citizens continue to experience shortages of basic life necessities, economic concerns will take center stage as their top priority for government action.<\/p>\n

There hasn\u2019t been any immediate reaction from government.<\/p>\n
