On May 13, 2003, the Malagasy president announced that the Malagasy Franc would be progressively abandoned to use over again the traditional Ariary, which is equivalent to 5 Malagasy Franc. The monetary reform will need a quite long transitional period, but also a period of adaptation.

Since August 3, 2002, the interbank market of currencies is once again operational after being closed since January 25, 2002. During this period, because of a lack of quotations, the following indicative rates had been given: EUR 1 = MGF 6114 ; USD 1 = MGR 7012.67 .
