Commercial banks in Malawi have suspended interest and principal payments for loans, for a period of three months. The move seeks to cushion citizens from the negative economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

According to the Bankers Association of Malawi (BAM), banks in Malawi have also slashed charges on internet banking, mobile payments, and other related services by 40%.

In the recent wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, some African governments have stepped up the fight against the virus, cushioning their citizens and economies against the pandemic that continues to take a toll on businesses. Countries that have taken action include:
