This note focuses on the 17 centrally managed ports, excluding Toamasina, which underwent acorporate management reform program as part of the Port Rehabilitation Project financed by the Bank.Financial and Accounting ManagementAccording to administrative regulations, the 17 ports were financially managed by the Ports Service,which was in charge of governing the so-called Ports Annex Budget (BAP). This BAP was a separateitem in the government's annual budget.The budget consisted of provisions for operating and investment expenses and operating incomes fromport dues and lease fees. A balanced BAP was mandatory, with the consequence that a state subsidywould complement the revenues each time it appeared necessary to fulfill this commitment.The financial management of port activities was simply a thorough follow-up of the expenditureperformance under the budget lines on the expenses side, and a timely recording of the operatingincomes on the revenues side. Furthermore, this purely administrative accounting did not provide anyinformation on the operations'' productivity, let alone any financial return assessment.
