19. Macro-Economic Impact

20. 11 May 2008GFDRR20 Macro-Economic Impact The economy of Madagascar, prior to the cyclone season of 2008, was expected to growth at an annual rate of 7.3% Taking into consideration the losses that have been estimated, the growth rate of the country´s gross domestic product is expected to slow down by 0.2 per cent Due to the reduction of exports and increase in imports of goods, plus the reduction of income from tourism services, the current account of the balance of payments would decline 10%, from 114.3 to 102.7 million SDR Due to increased post-disaster current expenditures and lower tax revenues, fiscal sector overall balance would decline from 5.0 to 4.9% of GDP
