The government of Mauritius has issued a statement stressing its commitment to make Mauritius the region’s FinTech Center. In this vein, the Government has approved the establishment of a Technical Committee, chaired by the Ministry of Financial Services and Good Governance, to address all issues raised by industry stakeholders in the conduct of FinTech activities in Mauritius.
The Technical Committee is issuing a “Call for Views” to see how the industry, regulators, and policymakers can work together to ensure the continued progress of the FinTech sector’s growth in Mauritius. The aim of the exercise is to understand how Mauritius needs to adapt in order to reap the benefits of FinTech, as well as to recognise and expose the obstacles that FinTech startups face in order to ensure ease of doing business. Furthermore, the “Call for Views” would aid in the identification of FinTech talent, expertise, and work opportunities. Finally, the exercise will enable participants to comprehend the perspectives of both entrepreneurs and investors.
