On 20 November 2024, the Public Private Partnership Commission (PPPC) and the Malawi Stock Exchange (MSE) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) at the MSE offices, marking a strategic partnership to promote the growth of Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) in Malawi. This collaboration aims to strengthen the PPP framework, drive infrastructure development, enhance service delivery and attract investments.
The PPPC, mandated under the PPP Act of 2022, facilitates PPPs and privatization, while the MSE, governed by the Financial Services Act of 2010 and the Securities Act of 2010, operates a transparent and regulated securities market. Together, the institutions will work to enhance financing solutions for PPP projects, improve project feasibility and achieve financial closure.
The MoU formalizes this partnership, focusing on improving PPP financing modalities, increasing project feasibility and fostering public participation, including engaging stock market-registered entities, to achieve shared objectives.
