Abstract: Malawi has been battling with inflationary factors attributed to traders quoting their goods and services in USD albeit with little success. Furthermore, the significant trade imbalances is not verified stoking fear this is more to do with illegal externalisation of forex in the absence of pre-shipment inspection services in Malawi. This study has also confirmed that petroleum products and inorganic fertilisers are not the biggest users of forex in Malawi but that printed materials and industrial machinery had significant chunk as well. It is recommended that Malawian Parliament should enhance its oversight role to protect country’s forex and curb cost-push inflation.
