On the right track. This is the little that can be said about the negotiations of the Malagasy authorities with the International Monetary Fund, IMF. Optimism shared yesterday evening at the meeting room of the Ministry of Economy and Finance in Antaninarenina.
Not very talkative about the content of the discussions, Frédéric Lambert, head of mission of the IMF, nevertheless revealed a calendar deadline. “We hope to reach an Agreement by the end of June.”
But what Agreement is this? Rindra Hasimbelo Rabarinirinarison, Minister of Economy and Finance, provides clear and unequivocal details. “The government has chosen to abandon the Extended Credit Facility, ECF, in its current configuration. To renegotiate another with four pillars. Fiscal anchoring and public finances, good governance, the monetary pillar and inclusive growth for human development and human capital. Madagascar aspires to obtain the Resilience and Sustainability Facility, FRD, more conducive to our financial needs because it is aimed at countries most vulnerable to the effects of climate change and facing environmental challenges. However, to hope to have access to the FRD, the requesting country must, among other conditions, be under a sub-program with the IMF for at least 18 months. While the current FEC ends in July.”

The Swine Plague Slows The Export Of Parma…
Listen to the audio version of the article
In the end, swine fever really arrived in the heart of the Food Valley, and together with the disease came the first export stops of one of the most important Made in Italy PDOs, Parma Ham. Last week the carcass of an infected wild boar was found in Varano de’ Melegari, in the Parma hills, very close to Fornovo. As required by European regulations, the discovery led to the immediate expansion of the restricted areas. The result is that the new borders, published on Wednesday in the EU Official Journal, include for the first time some key production areas of Parma ham: Langhirano, Lesignano and Traversetolo have been placed in Zone 1, which provides exclusively for enhanced surveillance measures, while Collecchio, Sala Baganza and Felino ended up under Restriction Zone 2, which involves the blocking of exports to countries such as Canada, Japan, and for less seasoned products also to the United States.
For the Italian cured meats industry, this is a bitter pill to swallow, after for more than two years (the first case of swine fever in Italy dates back to 7 January 2022) entrepreneurs have been asking the institutions for decisive intervention to safeguard a supply chain which is worth ten billion euros at a national level.
