As a Central Bank, our role in exports is very limited. The private sector is the engine of economic growth, and we urge businesses to enhance production in sectors that can generate forex to help address the ongoing foreign exchange challenges,\u201d Linje said.<\/p>\n<p>She also expressed optimism about lower inflation by year-end, citing good rains and expected bumper harvests that could drive food prices down. However, she warned against unfounded inflation speculations, saying they unnecessarily push prices higher.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen there is speculation, there is a reaction\u2014prices go up. Let\u2019s be positive and base our discussions on facts,\u201d she urged.<\/p>\n<p>Nyika Media Club Chairperson, Feston Malekezo, echoed her sentiments, stressing the need for journalists to verify information, especially as elections approach.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFact-checking is an essential part of journalism. With elections around the corner, there will be a flood of information, and it\u2019s our duty to ensure we present credible, truthful, and factual news,\u201d Malekezo stated.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Malawi<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Malawi.
