MHC hikes house rentals, Cama feels for consumers (The Nation)

The Nation (Malawi) reported on how Malawi Housing Corporation (MHC) has increased the monthly rental for its houses nationwide in a move Consumers Association of Malawi (Cama) says will hurt consumers currently grappling with the rising cost of living. Meanwhile, consumers keep paying for more as the retail price for maize, which contributes 42.5 percent to the inflation basket, has hit K200 per kilogram (kg) in October, according to IFPRI’s September 2021 Malawi Monthly Maize Market Report.
