The 2nd annual meeting of the International Advisory Board, set up by the Board of Investment (BOI) to assist in graduating Mauritius from a middle income developing country to a higher income developing one, was held this week, under the Chairmanship of the Vice-Prime Minister, Minister of Finance and Economic Development, Mr Xavier-Luc Duval, at Le Labourdonnais Waterfront Hotel in Port Louis.
The aim of the meeting is to allow the members of the Board to reflect on the key sectors and strategies that can be game changers for Mauritius and help the country attain the level of a high-income economy.
Discussions centered on enhancing connectivity as well as leveraging the development of new sectors as global investors are increasingly looking at using Mauritius as their first partner for investing in Africa.
The International Advisory Board is also assisting the BOI in the following areas: to identify and develop future pillars of the economy; to propose policies that will enhance the competitiveness of Mauritius as a global business platform and; to develop a network of contacts that will help BOI reach business leaders who can contribute to the development of the country.
It will be recalled that the first meeting of the International Advisory Board was held in May last year.
