It is an adopted practice among central banks in most countries to move for transparency in the area of monetary policy making. I for one do really believe in it and will move further in this direction. Before concluding may I say that the Bank of Mauritius will live up to the challenges of monetary policy in the years ahead.
In an uncertain external environment the Bank has so far charted the best possible course to support non-inflationary growth. The Bank will pursue the course in the same spirit. May I on behalf of the Board of Directors of the Bank of Mauritius and on my own behalf wish you and your family Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year.
