Mesdames, Messieurs,

L'EDBM (Economic Development Board of Madagascar) fait actuellement face a une suspension de son financement et par conséquent a une réduction d'effectifs, causant des répercussions sur la continuité de ses activités.

Aussi, nous informons nos partenaires que les activités de facilitation et de promotion des investissements ainsi que l'appui aux réformes sont ralenties.

Veuillez noter que le Guichet Unique charge entre autres de la création des sociétés, de la délivrance des autorisations d'emploi, des visas, des licences, permis et autorisations requises par la règlementation reste pleinement opérationnel.

Nous nous excusons des désagréments causes par cette situation et vous prions d'agréer, Mesdames, Messieurs, l'expression de nos meilleures salutations.

La Direction


Notice to Investors

EDBM is pleased to announce that, despite the temporary suspension of our funding and the consequent reduction in staff numbers:

  • Our one-stop-shop service that supports investors in the creation of companies, provision of work permits, visas, licenses and other authorizations remains fully operational
  • Other services such as facilitation of investments and support of reform activities, while remaining operational, may be slower than usual

We look forward to working with both existing and new investors in the coming months. Please accept our apologies in advance if our response is slower than usual.

Signed

The Management and Staff of EDBM

A Connected Island

A system of partnership between the State, the private sector and donors has been put in place to guarantee not only the network development but also an open and non-discriminatory access to present and future operators.

 

Telephone systems

 

There are four main operators, including a local subsidiary of ORANGE and ZAIN. The development of the fixed and mobile telephone network coverage is continuing its course to reach an annual growth rate of 40% in order to grow from 1 million users in 2006 to 3 million users in 2012.

 

National and international backbones

 

The national backbone will include reliable high speed lines serving the 22 regions as well as numerous access network via satellite.

In order to reduce further the cost of telecommunications in Madagascar, the government with the collaboration of the private sector will in the near future connect Madagascar via the EASSY and SAFE submarine fiber optics to the rest of the world.
Project Completion date
SAFE (linking the Indian Ocean islands) Early 2008
EASSY (linking Eastern African countries) End of 2008
The improved infrastructure will:
  • establish reliable high speed international and local connections;
  • converge telecommunication technologies to carry voice, data, and images;
  • offer competitively priced access;
  • develop services such as call-centers, software development and the exploitation of the “last mile
