The Central Bank of Malawi is responsible for issuing and managing the currency.

The Kwacha has experienced significant fluctuations and depreciation over the years due to various economic challenges, including inflation and foreign exchange rate pressures. As a result, understanding its value relative to other currencies is crucial for individuals and businesses engaged in international trade or travel.
