The big island is on the move
While a ministerial reshuffle has just been announced (see list below), the private sector in its entirety, all sectors and unions combined, is launching an open letter to the president of the republic. This letter, which invites a constructive dialogue between the state and the private sector, asks for a strategy to get out of the crisis and revive the economy.
After having made the dramatic observation of 16 months of crisis that continues in a situation already unstable before the crisis, all the signatories, asks for a constructive dialogue between the State and the private sector.In particular “an ambitious projection of vaccination, a courageous schedule for the reopening of borders, a firm commitment to pay the arrears of companies, and real and concrete measures to support the private sector”. The main signatories (The Group of Companies of Madagascar, the Confederation of Tourism and the Group of Malagasy Employers) rely on the fact that in addition to a “closure of the borders for 1.5 years which impacts all economic exchanges … the mandatory charges of companies are increasing and the cash flow of our companies is unfortunately not infinite …”
In short, there is like a revolt from this collective that represents 60% of the country’s GDP. To be continued
