Madagascar mining chamber criticises plan to raise mineral taxes [Morning Call]

The draft law was rejected by operators in the sector who fear a decline in the country’s attractiveness if market access conditions for investors are tightened.
Malagasy industry researcher Zo Randriamaro underlines the sector operators’ concerns.
