This report, the result of a 2-year research project, attempts to improve that information and to structure the debate around the long term economic impact of industrial mining. The objectives of this research were to assess the fiscal and non-fiscal contribution of mining to Madagascar economy, and by so doing to reinforce the capacities of main stakeholders to prepare for the related challenges and opportunities. Its scope was deliberately focused on large-scale mining, excluding i) mining exploration; ii) artisanal and small-scale mining; and iii) quarrying. This explains why the reader may notice important differences between historical data and information published by EITI in Madagascar, which also includes petroleum exploration activities. The research focused on economic spillovers as a first step. Admittedly, additional research on the environmental and social impacts of industrial mining over time should complement this work to provide for a more complete picture of the contribution of the sector towards sustainable development.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOLARGE-SCALE MININGMINERALSBENCHMARKINGCRITERIAMINING TAX REGIMETAXESCORPORATE INCOME TAXESGROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCTWATER TREATMENTOUTCOMESSLURRYMINING INVESTMENTEXTRACTIVE INDUSTRIESMINING TITLESINVESTMENTARTISANAL AND SMALL-SCALE MININGECONOMYFREE TRADEMINING DEVELOPMENTBENCHMARKMINING INDUSTRYMINING PROJECTSGDPVALUATIONTRANSPARENT PROCESSESEITIMINING POLICY REGIMETRANSPARENCYKAOLINSMALL-SCALE MININGCENTRAL BANKPRECIOUS STONESSTEELMINING POLICYDEVELOPMENT AGENCIESEXPLOITATION LICENCESIZED ENTERPRISESINDUSTRIAL MINERALSPAYMENTSGOLD PRODUCTIONCOBALTMINING SECTOR ACTIVITIESREMOTE REGIONSPRECIOUS METALSGOLDTECHNICAL ASSISTANCEMINERAL SANDSSMALL-SCALEEXPECTATIONSHEALTH AND SAFETYWEALTHMINERAL RESOURCESVARIABLESMINING ACTIVITIESSALTQUARRYINGSMALL-SCALE MINING SECTORMINING REGIONSBAUXITEGOOD PERFORMANCEDRILLINGCOMPARATIVE ADVANTAGESCALE MININGGYPSUMVALUE ADDEDLEADSAFETY STANDARDSTRUSTSDIVIDENDSINCOME TAXESMACROECONOMIC POLICYMINING FISCAL REGIMEMINING COMPANIESEXPLORATION ACTIVITIESARTISANAL MININGMULTIPLIER EFFECTINPUTSGEMSTONESPRICE FLUCTUATIONSARTISANAL MINING SECTORGOODSMETALSMINING INVESTORSOCCUPATIONAL HEALTHINFLUENCEFEASIBILITY STUDIESLIMESTONENATIONAL ECONOMYGDP PER CAPITAITCCREDITARTISANAL AND SMALL- SCALE MININGREVENUE MANAGEMENTMINING COMPANYDEVELOPMENTLARGE MININGRESOURCE CURSESEMI-PRECIOUS STONESVOCATIONAL SKILLSCOAL MINEMINERAL DEPOSITSFOREIGN MININGMINING COUNTRIESMARBLEMINESSANDCOALENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENTINTERNATIONAL MININGTAXATIONFORECASTSMINING OPERATIONSBENEFITSINCOMEMISMANAGEMENTNATURAL RESOURCESPRODUCTIONSMALL- SCALEEXPORTSSMALL- SCALE MININGTITANIUMENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTCOMPETITIVENESSMICAMINING INVESTMENTSGEOLOGYINVENTORYOCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETYREFININGAGRICULTUREECONOMIC OUTLOOKECONOMIC SECTORSINCENTIVESDEMAND ANALYSISOILROYALTY PAYMENTSPRICESSMALL SCALEMINING ROYALTIESVALUEIRON ORENICKELTRANSPARENT GOVERNANCECHROMIUMMINING MINISTRYCOAL MINESLARGE-SCALE MINESQUARTZMINING AUTHORITYBENEFICIATIONNATIONAL ECONOMIESTRANSPARENCY INITIATIVEMINING PERMITSWAGESTRADEGRANITEMINING SECTORIRONMACROECONOMIC CONDITIONSReportWorld Bank10.1596/23021
