The African Development Bank Group said on 10 September that Madagascar would need to mobilise about $7.27 billion annually by 2030 to finance development and structural transformation. The estimate appears in the Bank’s 2026 Country Focus Report, which was released in July and discussed at its launch.

The report says growth slowed from 4.3% in 2024 to 3.2% in 2025, and projects 3% growth in 2026 amid external pressures and domestic constraints. It expects growth to reach 4.5% in 2027, supported by extractive industries, tourism, telecommunications and infrastructure investment. These are report projections, not final outcomes.
