Teflon-like, Mauritius stoically shrugs off these attacks as it does not practice a culture of opacity. Mauritius has always been more than willing to share information with the banking and tax authorities of partner-countries. That is why attempts from various quarters to qualify Mauritius as a tax haven have not succeeded, anymore than veiled threats from OECD to put Mauritius on its grey list.
Pure pragmatism was not enough because it could lead to monetary policy aiming to achieve a desired result for a “real variable”, which in the long run would be self-defeating.
