After a deep economic recession in Madagascar in 2020, with GDP contracting by 7.1 percent, growth rebounded to 3.3 percent in 2021. Inflation, which had halved since 2018, rebounded to 5.9 percent in 2021. The current account deficit also increased slightly to 5.5 percent of GDP in 2020 from 5.1 percent, partly reflecting higher oil prices.  Madagascar received an SDR allocation of $332 million in September 2021.
