Summary:

The Malagasy authorities face the challenge of developing the financial system while preserving financial stability. The financial sector survived relatively well the economic and political turmoil of the last decade on the basis of a conservative strategy, albeit with little progress in financial deepening or inclusion. A move to a more dynamic and open regime could bring with it severe risks unless prudential regulations and practice is strengthened very substantially.
