Abstract

Following uncertainty prior to the mayoral elections, Madagascar was hit hard by weather-related events in early 2025 and, most notably external shocks: some discontinuation in official development assistance (ODA) (about 1 percent of GDP) and the U.S. tariff hike (47 percent initially). These developments risk setting Madagascar back, considering the country’s reliance on external financing (USAID support was omnipresent) and exposure of its labor-intensive textile industry and vanilla sector to the U.S. market. The Extended Credit Facility (ECF)and Resilience and Sustainability Facility (RSF) remain focused on helping enhance overall socio-economic resilience (in a fragile political context), in line with the General State Policy (PGE).
