Converting from Malawi Kwacha (MWK) to Belize Dollar (BZD)

What is Malawi Kwacha (MWK)

The Malawi Kwacha (MWK) is the official currency of Malawi, a landlocked country located in southeastern Africa. The kwacha was introduced in 1971, replacing the Malawian pound at a rate of 1 kwacha for 2 pounds. The name "kwacha" is derived from a word in the local Chichewa language meaning "dawn" or "to dawn," symbolizing a new dawn for the nation's economy.

The kwacha is subdivided into 100 tambala. Coins come in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, and 50 tambala, while banknotes are issued in the denominations of 20, 50, 100, 200, 500, and 1,000 kwacha. The currency is managed and issued by the Reserve Bank of Malawi. Over the years, the Malawi kwacha has faced challenges, including inflation and fluctuations in exchange rates. Despite these challenges, it remains a crucial part of daily transactions in Malawi.
