Cambodian scam centres have relocated to Antananarivo, per Bangkok Post, as Madagascar becomes a new hub for financial fraud. The move follows increased scrutiny of operations in Cambodia.

Local churches are expanding rapidly across Madagascar, according to Umnews.org, with new congregations forming in rural and urban areas. This growth reflects rising religious interest amid economic challenges.

Madagascar's financial ties with Moscow have tightened, as reported by Africa Intelligence. The relationship strengthens diplomatic and economic cooperation, especially in trade and investment sectors.
