On 19 August, the Mauritius Chamber of Commerce and Industry held its annual general meeting. Owing to the current sanitary restrictions, the AGM was held in a hybrid format. The MCCI is the oldest private sector institution in Mauritius, having been established in 1850 by Royal Charter. It actively promotes public-private partnerships, business facilitation, and capacity building through the MCCI Business School. The MBA is an active member of the MCCI, and the MBA CEO serves on its council, audit committee and finance committee, as well as its Financial Services Committee. Our collaboration with the MCCI greatly facilitated the issuance of WAPs during lockdown, as well as the enablement of paperless trade finance operations.
