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

Mining

The Treasure Island

The geological situation of Madagascar indicates that there is still massive mining potential yet to be explored and exploited. However, Madagascar already exports mining products to Japan, Sweden, China, India, North America and Western Europe.

Succesful projects

 

Ambatovy

The largest mining project ever carried out in Madagascar is a US $3.3 billion investment in the exploitation of nickel and cobalt in Ambatovy (on the east coast of Madagascar) by Sheritt International. The rated annual capacity is estimated at 60,000 tons of nickel, 5,600 tons of cobalt and roughly 190,000 tons of ammonium sulphate.

 

Taolagnaro

Another successful project carried out in the South East of Madagascar involves Qit Madagascar Minerals (QMM S.A.) of the Rio Tinto group for the exploitation of Ilmenite. It is expected that exports will begin towards the end of 2008.

This sector has bright prospects, as a number of important projects are in the pipeline in various parts of the country which include petroleum (west), coal (south) and bauxite (south).
