The Positive Impacts Of Madagascar Minerals

By Raymond Myers


The world is changing for the better and it is all because of minerals. Qatar is becoming a leading financial center due to the fact that the country has huge natural gas reserves. China is a world power because it is a leading producer of phosphate and other mineral products. Madagascar is greatly transforming. Some of the positive transformations that have been witnessed in this country are attributable to Madagascar minerals. There are more than a dozen companies in this country that are involved with mining activities. Some of those enterprises are based locally while others are foreign based.

The number one impact of mining is economic. When talking about mining, the first thing that most people will think about is the money that can be earned from carrying out mining activity. The Madagascan Island earns substantial foreign exchange as a result of selling mineral products to other countries. A nation needs to have dollars and pounds for foreign trade.

The economic impact of mining is having a positive impact on the average Madagascan. There are people in this country that usually smile all the way to the bank because of what mining has done to them. Some have gone from being extremely poor to having relative wealth because of the various mining related activities. Actually, mining is good for the economy.

The most pronounced impact of mining has been the ever increasing Gross Domestic Product of Madagascar. Each year, the GDP figure goes to a completely new level and that is because members of the national government are serious about mining matters. There is even a ministry of mining that has brought a lot of sanity to this important economic sector.

Foreign direct investments are coming to Madagascar at a rate never seen before. People are planning in foreign capitals how they can invest in the mineral sector of this county. For any country to develop and attain high income status there is need for investments from foreigners. A closed economy will soon fail. Free market is a good economic system.

People are investing in the Madagascan mineral sector because of the good economic climate of the country. It is easy to open a business in this part of the world. Getting a mining license is also an effortless affair. There are also fewer failed banks. That means that investors do not have to fear about the safety of their monies.

It is not the mineral industry alone that is growing. There has been a ripple effect to the entire Madagascan economy. This is because this industry does not exist on itself. It is dependent on other sectors. It is particular dependent on a number of service sectors such as transport, logistics, finance and hospitality. There is need to bank funds and to efficiently transport minerals.

Madagascar is going places. It is on its way to become one of the wealthiest countries in Africa. Mineral wealth has greatly transformed the face of this nation. Skyscrapers are rising on the skylines of Antananarivo and other Madagascan cities. Economists have predicted that middle income status might be achieved by the nation sooner than was forecasted by the IMF.
