On 12 July 2021, the CEO of the MBA, Mr. Daniel Essoo, and the Chairperson of the MBA Sub-Committee on Capital Markets, Mr. Mark Watkinson, met with senior officers from the Ministry of Finance & Economic Development and of the Bank of Mauritius, to discuss ways to deepen and broaden capital markets in Mauritius. This meeting followed recommendations made in the MBA’s 2021 Budget Memorandum. While this issue has been under ongoing discussion since 2012, the current economic context presents a unique opportunity to develop Capital Markets and grow GDP. Key areas of discussion centered around increasing visibility and attractiveness, building a yield curve, and developing the secondary market. It was proposed that a working group be set up to further discuss this issue.
