| Ekonomia | Having discarded past socialist economic policies, Madagaskar has since the mid 1990s followed a Swiat Bank- and IMF-led policy of privatization and liberalization. This strategy placed the country on a slow and steady growth path from an extremely low level. Agriculture, including fishing and forestry, is a mainstay of the economy, accounting dla more than one-fourth of Produkt krajowy brutto and employing 80% of the population. Eksport of apparel have boomed w recent years primarily due to duty-free access to the US. Deforestation and erosion, aggravated by the use of firewood as the primary source of fuel, are serious concerns. President RAVALOMANANA has worked aggressively to revive the economy following the 2002 political crisis, which triggered a 12% drop w Produkt krajowy brutto that year. Poverty reduction and combating corruption will be the centerpieces of economic policy dla the next few years. | Having discarded past socialist economic policies, Madagaskar has since the mid 1990s followed a Swiat Bank and IMF led policy of privatization and liberalization.
