Statement by the International Monetary Fund Staff: Madagascar Donors' Meeting, December 1, 2016  

This statement provides an assessment of recent economic developments and the outlook for Madagascar, including performance under the Extended Credit Facility (ECF) arrangement approved in July 2016 (IMF Country Report No. 16/273). The assessment has been informed by discussions during a staff visit on September 7-15, 2016, and during the IMF/World Bank Annual Meetings in October. Preliminary data for end-September suggest that the program remains broadly on track. In March 2017, an IMF mission will visit Madagascar to conduct the first review under the ECF-supported program.
