FDH Bank has reaffirmed its commitment to supporting the Agriculture, Tourism, and Mining (ATM) Strategy, a flagship initiative aimed at growing the Malawi economy through strategic sector development.
Speaking during the bank’s investors forum in Blantyre, FDH Board Chairperson, Charity Mseka, said the bank is ready to provide products that will spur growth in the identified sectors.
The ATM Strategy, introduced by President Dr. Lazarus Chakwera last year, aims to leverage agriculture, tourism, mining, and manufacturing to drive economic growth and development.
Mseka emphasized that FDH Bank is well-positioned to support the strategy through its financial products and services.
“Our bank is committed to providing innovative financial solutions that will support the growth of these key sectors,” Mseka said, adding that,”We believe that by working together with the government and other stakeholders, we can unlock the potential of these sectors and contribute to the country’s economic development.”
One of the bank’s shareholders, Joe Mayere, highlighted the critical role that financial institutions like FDH Bank play in facilitating economic growth.
“Without institutions such as banks, it will be hard for most Malawians to fully participate in the strategy,” Mayere said, adding that, “We need to ensure that our financial systems are inclusive and responsive to the needs of our people.”

Participants explored ways in which financial institutions can contribute to the growth of the identified sectors and the overall economy.
