CEO's Message | Editorial

Dear Valued Stakeholders,

I am pleased to present to you the Economic Development Board’s special edition of its newsletter. This edition focuses on the recent measures and announcements of the 2021/2022 Budget put forward this afternoon by Dr. the Hon. Renganaden Padayachy, Minister of Finance, Economic Planning and Development.

The budget contains several sectoral measures to address challenges and to create the necessary momentum in emerging sectors. Other than these, there are certain major axes that are prioritised, namely investment, exports, openness, debt management, renewable energy and business facilitation which will, at a more macro level, support recovery and enable the long-term transition of Mauritius towards a more sustainable economy.
