Economic fundamentals still stable, but risks 

rising 

Ephraim Munthali O July 2018 Comments 
 Malani's economic fundamentals remain stable generally despite a few setbacks and overall image/perception 
 issues that appear to be crowding out fairly positive news on economic stability. 
 Inflation is easing back to comfortable single digit levels after threatening to return to double digits in the first 
 quarter of the year. 
 In May this year, headline inflation retreated to 8.9 percent from 9-7 percent in April 2018, a much better position 
 than the 12.3 percent that was recorded at the same time last year.
