Urgent Community Message on the Forex Crisis.
Dear Business Community,
Salaams,
Thank you all to your useful suggestions and assist.
JazakAllah Khair.
We are going through an acute and important scarcity of overseas alternate:
• The parallel market price has exceeded 130% and continues to rise.
• Banks are charging premiums as excessive as 100%.
• Inflation is skyrocketing, severely impacting bizarre residents, 95% of whom stay on lower than $1 a day.
Many small and medium-sized companies have already shut down.
These are accountable and clever enterprise homeowners who’ve assessed the scenario and determined to exit earlier than incurring unsustainable debt or risking their reputations.
It is simply a matter of time earlier than different companies—particularly those who haven’t been prudent—start to break down. This can have a ripple impact on all stakeholders, as unpaid credit score will flip into defaults, additional destabilizing the economic system.
Some of us have invested our total life financial savings into properties, securing our retirement and guaranteeing monetary stability for future generations. However, with the present alternate price and low demand, rental earnings has dropped by 50% in Kwacha phrases and by practically 70% or extra in USD phrases.
This disaster threatens not simply companies but in addition the hard-earned legacies of many.
These are critical issues, however Alhamdulillah, we’re addressing them collectively. This group was created to boost consciousness, educate, and work in direction of sensible options that profit everybody.
Proposed Solutions & Discussion Points
Now that we now have outlined the severity of the scenario, we wish to share some potential options for constructive dialogue:
1. We Must Continue Trading
• Completely halting foreign currency trading just isn’t an choice. A protracted pause would result in a buildup of extra Kwacha, in the end driving charges even larger. We can’t afford a to let this cycle repeat itself.
2. Assessing the Real Demand for Forex
• Does anybody on this group have extra Kwacha however can’t entry USD on the present asking price?
• If the reply isn’t any, then it’s clear that there’s sufficient foreign exchange in circulation.
• The price hikes are possible pushed by concern, uncertainty, greed, and hypothesis reasonably than precise shortage.3. Historical Perspective & Caution
• We have all managed to commerce, journey, and import when the speed was at 2,000. •
Some of us survived at 4,000.
• If the speed reaches 6,000, survival will develop into even tougher.
• If we do nothing, we danger a scenario just like Zimbabwe’s hyperinflation. Can we afford such an financial catastrophe?
• This will have an effect on everybody—patrons, sellers, speculators, and all contributors within the economic system.
4. Agreeing on a Fixed Exchange Rate
• One choice is to collectively agree on a secure alternate price—maybe 3900 MK/USD—and be sure that nobody pays above this price.
• By sustaining stability, we are able to curb inflation and shield companies. • Similarly, we are able to agree on a most premium for banks, capping it at 2,000 MK to stop extreme fluctuations.
5. Collective Unity & Commitment (Critical Point)
For this plan to succeed, all of us should be on the identical web page:
• All communities • All firms • All NGOs • All sectors of society
If we aren’t united and dedicated to the settlement, the plan will fail.
We will probably be divided and dominated upon, reaching nothing whereas persevering with to undergo financial losses.Unity is our best energy. If we stand collectively and stay agency in our collective method, we are able to take management of the scenario and shield our companies, livelihoods, and future.
6. Community Responsibility & Charitable Giving

. Giving Sadaqah (charity) generously will assist these in want and us.
• Consider wage will increase for workers to assist them deal with rising prices. A well-supported workforce is a larger type of charity than any exterior donation.
• At the identical time, we should be sure that nobody in our group—or inside our borders—goes hungry.
• It is our collective duty to assist one another.
The Consequences of Inaction

• Rising crime charges, together with theft, housebreaking, and violence.

Furthermore, mass unemployment is not only a risk—it’s already occurring.
• Many jobs have already been misplaced, and extra will comply with as companies proceed to close down or downsize.

As individuals battle to outlive, lawlessness will improve, placing all of us in direct hazard.
We and our family members will undergo the implications—we aren’t leaving. This is our dwelling.
We wish to stay right here in peace and die a pure demise, not be killed as a consequence of rising crime and desperation.
The financial instability just isn’t solely affecting the enterprise group however can be placing immense stress on social buildings, rising dependency on support, decreasing productiveness, and worsening dwelling circumstances for almost all.
If this development continues, we danger long-term financial devastation, making restoration much more troublesome.
Rather than ready for issues to spiral additional uncontrolled, allow us to act now.
