Enhanced controls by tax and customs authorities have enabled the Malagasy state to recover 43.33 billion ariary during the first half of 2026. A year earlier, amounts recovered stood at 25.38 billion ariary over the same period. This nearly 71% increase reflects the effectiveness of a strategy based on better targeting of controls, more advanced exploitation of available data, and strengthened risk analysis mechanisms. The largest share of these revenues comes from the General Tax Directorate (DGI). Control operations conducted on major enterprises yielded 41.27 billion ariary, compared to 23.60 billion ariary in the first half of 2025, representing a 74.9% increase. Principal tax amounts rose from 11.48 billion to 16.44 billion ariary. Penalties and fines recorded an even more marked progression, reaching 24.84 billion ariary against 12.11 billion a year earlier. These performances were achieved with a significantly lower volume of controls. The DGI examined only 119 files during the first six months of the year, compared to 435 in the same period in 2025. This reduction in interventions reflects a change in approach. Verifications are now concentrated on enterprises presenting the highest fiscal risks, allowing for optimization of human and technical resources. This new method is directly reflected in control efficiency. The average amount recovered per file rose from approximately 54 million ariary to nearly 347 million ariary. Each control now generates revenues more than six times higher than those recorded the previous year, confirming the effectiveness of more precise targeting. The General Customs Directorate (DGD) also shows improved results. Infractions detected during the first half yielded 2.06 billion ariary in additional duties and taxes, compared to 1.78 billion ariary in the same period of 2025, a 15.7% increase. Thirty-six files were processed in this context. Customs services have also intensified surveillance operations at borders and territorial entry points. Five seizures of gold products representing over 12 kilograms of gold were made during the first six months of the year. Agents also intercepted precious stones and 95,050 euros in foreign currency. Operations also focused on biodiversity protection, with the seizure of lemurs and radiated tortoises destined for illegal trafficking. Beyond recovered amounts, these operations aim to preserve public resources, combat unfair competition, and limit losses from tax fraud, false declarations, and smuggling. The Ministry of Economy and Finance affirms its commitment to continuing this momentum by strengthening modernization of control systems, data exploitation, and risk analysis tools. The stated objective is to sustainably improve state revenues while ensuring more transparent, better-targeted procedures that respect the rights of taxpayers and economic operators.
