U.S. EMBASSY ANTANANARIVO IN CHARGE OF MADAGASCAR AND THE COMOROS

The Economic/Commercial Section at the U.S. Embassy of Antananarivo supports and advises the Ambassador, Embassy officers and U.S. policy-makers compiling reports that cover a wide range of economic and commercial topics on Madagascar and the Comoros.

We also assist U.S. companies’ export and investment in Madagascar and the Comoros by offering insights into the local business environment. We can assist interested American business people by providing market surveys, contact information for potential local agents and distributors. Services range from complimentary overviews to tailor-made services for a fee. The list of specialized, fee based commercial services available to U.S. businesses is below.

We also help Malagasy and Comoran businesses and government agencies by locating U.S. suppliers and by providing the latest U.S. trade-related information.

The Economic/Commercial Section in Antananarivo partners with the U.S. Commercial Service Southern Africa, located in Johannesburg, South Africa, to expand the commercial services and resources we are available to provide to interested parties. Please visit the U.S. Commercial Service Southern Africa site to gain a better understanding of their activities at; http://www.buyusa.gov/southafrica/en/.

To best support U.S. companies seeking trade and investment opportunities, we annually update our ICS (Investment Climate Statement) and CCG (Country Commercial Guide) for general use by the U.S. business community. All ICS and CCG are stored in the Commercial Service Market Research Database which can be found at: www.export.gov.

The reports are available at http://www.buyusainfo.net/docs/x_7647374.pdf

To assist local governmental offices and businesses, the Commercial Section publishes a quarterly bulletin.
