Economic Development Vision 2030 High-Powered Committee to be set up

Economy 29 Jan 2015

A Vision 2030 High-Powered Committee, aiming to provide strategic direction in the design and implementation of an all-encompassing National Economic Development Blueprint for Mauritius for the period 2015-2030, is being set up by Government.

The Committee will help in facilitating the implementation of large private sector investment projects which are key to job creation.  As a result, it is expected that blurred signals given to businesses and investors due to delays in the issuance of permits and licences will be avoided.

The National Economic Development Blueprint will contain a series of underlying strategic thrusts including the development and consolidation of the economic pillars around financial services, manufacturing, trading and logistics, Mauritius, duty-free shopping, tourism and real estate, regional services and ocean economy and a national investment strategy to attract domestic capital formation and foreign direct investment.
