Madagascar's performance under the PRGF-supported program in 2001 was strong, with the exception of weak revenue collection, an issue that the new government has begun to address. The budget for 2003 is consistent with the macroeconomic constraints, and places an appropriate emphasis on revenue mobilization and on wage restraint. Administrative procedures need to be streamlined to ensure faster expenditure commitment and execution of donor-funded projects.
