At the same time, we are committed to creating an environment where entrepreneurs and businesses can thrive, ensuring that processes with institutions and other stakeholders are seamless and efficient, removing unnecessary barriers. We also know the importance of human capital in our country’s development and we need to prevent brain drain and create meaningful opportunities to encourage our diaspora to return and contribute to building a dynamic and inclusive economy. With the financial sector as our largest driver of growth, we are prioritising climate finance and need to explore renewable energy initiatives to build a sustainable and future-ready Mauritius,” highlighted Hon Dhaneshwar Damry, Junior Minister of Finance.
