Madagascar
1. Country / Territory
Brief
The Republic of Madagascar
is a southern African island, situated in the Indian Ocean east of Mozambique.
It is a country rich
of diverse resources and
natural deposits and is the world’s first exporter of the vanilla bean.
Madagascar also counts coffee,
shellfish, sugar and
petroleum products as its main exports.
Despite its abundant
resources, Madagascar still struggles to channel its trade revenues into a
sound engine of development. In
fact, the country has had
recurrent political crises which have greatly disturbed its regional and
interregional trade though not
sufficiently developed.
Madagascar mostly exports to France, China, the USA and Singapore, and is a
member of the Southern
African Development
Community (SADC), the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA)
and the Indian
Ocean Commission (IOC).
ITC has had a number of
interventions in Madagascar with the International Trade Board of Madagascar in
areas such as
public-private partnership
market access, National Tariff Measures. Another collaboration is currently
underway as the country
requested ITC expertise in
the elaboration of a programme aimed at increasing Madagascar’s trade
capacities. The country is
also eligible for projects
under the Enhanced Integrated Framework.

4.2 Domestic and Foreign
Market Access
Overview:
Trade Policy and Business Environment
The Republic of Madagascar
is classified as a low income country. The country was ranked 107th out of 132
countries in the
World Economic Forum (WEF)
Enabling Trade Index 2012, which measures institutions, policies and services
to facilitate trade
in countries. From 2009
and 2013 the country experienced a political coup and its most protracted
period of political conflict in a
state accustomed to
political disorder. The World Bank has estimated that the political turmoil
cost Madagascar around USD 8
billion in lost growth,
and cost the country its membership in the African Union and the Southern
African Development
Community (SADC).
Democratic rule was restored in January 2013 following elections, which is
anticipated to improve trade
and economic development.
WEF, 2012, Global
Enabling Trade Report
INDICATOR,
UNITS RANK/132 SCORE
Domestic Market Access The
pillar assesses the level and complexity of a country’s tariff protection
as a
result of its trade policy. This component includes the effective
trade-weighted average tariff
applied
by a country, the share of goods imported duty free and the complexity of the
tariff regime,
measured
through tariff variance, the prevalence of tariff peaks and specific tariffs,
and the number
of
distinct tariffs.
91 4.40
Foreign Market Access The
pillar assesses tariff barriers faced by a country’s exporters in destination
markets.
It includes the average tariffs faced by the country as well as the margin of
preference in
destination
markets negotiated through bilateral or regional trade agreements or granted in
the form
of
trade preferences.
8 4.25
Tariff rate (%) This
indicator is calculated as a trade-weighted average of all the applied tariff
rates,
including
preferential rates that a country applies to the rest of the world. The weights
are the trade
patterns
of the importing country’s reference group (2012 data). An applied tariff is a
customs duty
that is
levied on imports of merchandise goods.
88 8.02
Complexity of tariffs ,
index 1-7 (best) This indicator is calculated as the average of the
following
indicators:
Tariff dispersion, Specific tariffs and Number of distinct tariffs. See
description of each
individual
indicator for more details. Prior to averaging, values for each indicator were
transformed to
a 1–7
score, using the min-max method.
12 6.70
Tariffs dispersion
(standard deviation) This indicator reflects differences in tariffs across
product
categories
in a country’s tariff structure. The variance is calculated across all the
tariffs on imported
merchandise
goods, at the 6-digit level of the Harmonized Schedule.
32 6.97
Tariffs peaks (%) This
indicator is the ratio of the number of tariff lines exceeding three times the
average
domestic tariff (across all products) to the MFN (most-favoured nation) tariff
schedule. The
tariff
schedule is equal to the total number of tariff lines for each country. These
tariffs are revised on
a
yearly basis.
1 0.00
Specific tariffs (%) This
indicator is the ratio of the number of Harmonized System (HS) tariff lines,
with at
least one specific tariff, to the total number of HS tariff lines. A specific
tariff is a tariff rate
charged
on fixed amount per quantity (as opposed to ad valorem)
1 0.00
Number of distinct
tariffs This indicator reflects the number of distinct tariff rates applied
by a country
to its
imports across all sectors.
5 4.00
Share of duty-free
imports (%) Share of trade, excluding petroleum, that is imported free of
tariff
duties,
taking into account MFN tariffs and preferential agreements. Tariff data is
from 2013 or most
recent
year available and imports data is from 2012
105 28.35
Tariffs faced (%) This
indicator is calculated as the trade-weighted average of the applied tariff
rates,
including
preferential rates that the rest of the world applies to each country. The
weights are the
trade
patterns of the importing country’s reference group (2012 data). A tariff is a
customs duty that is
levied
by the destination country on imports of merchandise goods
16 4.86
Index of margin of
preference in destination markets, 0-100 (best) This indicator measures the
percentage
by which particular imports from one country are subject to lower tariffs than
the MFN
rate.
It is calculated as the average of two components: 1) the trade-weighted
average difference
between
the MFN tariff and the most advantageous preferential duty (advantage score), and
2) the
ratio
of the advantage score to the trade-weighted average MFN tariff level. This
allows capturing
both
the absolute and the relative margin of preference.

Trade
Policy and Market Access
Madagascar has been a WTO
member since November 1995 and the simple average MFN tariff applied in 2012
was 11.8 per
cent. Madagascar joined
the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa’s (COMESA) free trade
framework in 2005 and
the SADC in 2007; however
Madagascar’s membership of SADC as well as the African Union has been suspended
since 2009
due to the political
crisis, but is expected to be reinstated following the return to democratic
rule in January 2013. Intra-regional
trade remains poorly
developed with exports to the SADC and COMESA averaging only 5 per cent of
total exports since 2010.
Madagascan industrial
fabric industry had enjoyed preferential access under the African Growth and
Opportunity Act since
2000, with the aim to
expand trade and investment between Sub-Saharan Africa and the United States;
however this has also
been suspended since 2009,
which led to a reduction in textile sector output of 20 per cent (Bertelsmann
Stifung 2014).
Madagascar signed an interim
Economic Partnership Agreement with the European Union, which came into effect
in January
2013. The agreement covers
market access, fisheries and official development aid.

Compliance and Other Relevant Import/Export Restrictions
Madagascar submitted its
first notification of its own Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) regulations in
2008. In 2010, the country
submitted 7 notifications
relating to food. Madagascar has benefited from technical and finance
assistance with an aim to
enhance its SPS-related
capacity in recent years. In 2004, Madagascar submitted a statement on the
implementation and
administration of the
Agreement on Technical barriers to trade (TBT). However, Madagascar is not an
active member for the
TBT Committee. The country
did not make any notification to the committee between 1995 and 2010.

4.3 Trade Facilitation
Description
According to the World
Bank Logistics Performance Index (LPI) (2012) which measures countries’ trade
logistics efficiency,
Madagascar was ranked 84th out of 155 countries and all scores except
international
shipments are above the
regional average scores of Sub-Saharan African and low income countries. In
particular, Madagascar’s
customs logistics perform better than the top performer in low income group
(Benin),
owing to a number of
reforms since 2009, including: implementation of electronic data interchange, a
single
window (GASYNET),
risk-based inspections, and improvement of port infrastructure that has led to
a
decrease in export and
import times. In particular, its single-window system improved communication
and
coordination between
customs and the terminal port operators, and reduced both the time and the cost
to
export and import.
Moreover, Madagascar rolled out an online platform linking trade operators with
government agencies
involved in the trade process and customs clearance. The World Bank study
estimates
that exporters wait 22
days and spend USD 1, to export a standard container, whereas it takes 31
waiting days
and costs USD 2,108 for
other Sub-Saharan African countries to export the same container, on average.
With
regards to importing, it
takes 21 days and costs USD 1,555 for Madagascar, while it takes 38 days and
costs
USD 2,793 for the
low-income comparator countries (World Bank 2012; World Bank 2014).

4.4 Business and
Regulatory Environment
Description
The four-year-long
political crisis has led to deterioration in the business climate and greater
loss of control
in governance, and has
worsened the living conditions of the population despite some progress in
education.
The World Bank Doing
Business Report (2014) confirms the poor business environment with the country
ranking 148th out of 189
economies. Among the 10 categories analysed by this survey, starting a business
has a competitive edge
(ranked inside the top 30 economies globally), owing to the government’s
efforts to
improve the
entrepreneurial environment by lowering taxes, reducing the number of
procedures and lowering
minimum capital
requirements to start a businesses over recent years. On the other hand,
getting electricity
and credit are ranked in
the bottom 5 per cent of countries assessed. Madagascar has high cost and low
quality electricity that
covers only 15 per cent of the demand, which is due to the low generation
capacities,
operated by a single state
owned company. The country is open to foreign investment and officially there
is
no mandatory screening of
foreign investment, with no discrimination against foreign investors through
special tax treatment,
access to licenses or approvals. However, the weak legal and judicial
environments, as
well as the lack of
transparency which are subject to political corruption, are barriers to
investment. Also,
capital markets remain
underdeveloped and the interest rate is high, up to 45 per cent from 2007-2009.

4.5 Infrastructure
The latest WEF Global
Competitiveness Report ranked the quality of overall infrastructure of
Madagascar 132nd out of 148
countries. Madagascar’s
overall poor infrastructure is negatively affecting its economic growth and
development opportunities.
For example, the density
of paved roads is estimated at 10 km in every 1,000 sq. km against 100 km in
every 1,000 sq. km
Mauritius, also an island
nation in the Indian Ocean. Unfair business practices can be seen among
transport companies that
has led to increased
transport costs. There are only two railroads in Madagascar and they are
unconnected and in poor
condition. Given that
agricultural products contribute 70 per cent of total export share in Madagascar
and the sector employs
over 80 per cent of the
country’s population. With regards to information and communications technology
the sector has been
growing, owing to greater
liberalisation and further investment, which lead to more than 3 per cent growth
per year over the past
ten years (African
Development Bank Group 2013). Mobile penetration in Madagascar increased from 4
per cent to 25 per cent
between 2005 and 2010.
Prior to the sector reform of 1994, domestic telecommunication services were
poor and government
controlled (WEF 2013;
