Madagascar’s economy is resource-based, with agriculture, mining, and tourism as key sectors. Market competition is limited by infrastructure deficits and reliance on primary exports. Public policies emphasize poverty reduction and infrastructure development, though corruption hinders progress. Regulatory frameworks are weak, deterring foreign investment. Malagasy society is predominantly rural, with significant development needs. Education access is expanding, but resources remain limited. Healthcare services are underfunded and unevenly distributed. Climate risks, including deforestation and cyclones, threaten livelihoods. Madagascar’s growth depends on governance improvements and sustainable resource management.
