Abstract
This dissertation measured using appropriate methodology the degree of independence of
the Reserve Bank of Malawi based on the Reserve Bank of Malawi Act of 1989.
Furthermore the dissertation assessed the vulnerability of this independence in the
context of good governance and a variety of internal and external threats on the
independence. This comes from the understanding that even though central banks are
accorded independence, there are situations where practice deviates from what the
charters state. Therefore the dissertation provides recommendations on how to strengthen
the Reserve Bank Act to support its legal independence.
