Assessing Infrastructure Constraints on Business Activity in Blantyre, Malawi
This study shows that the cost and inefficiency of transporting goods internationally is the greatest infrastructure constraint on business activity in Blantyre. As a landlocked country, Malawi faces high transport costs that are a serious impediment to trade. Thus, there is great need to reduce the price and time it takes to transport goods to, from and within Malawi to ensure that the country's main industries (a majority of which have branches or are headquartered in Blantyre) can compete internationally.
