In July 2008, the Bank hosted a regional seminar on Inflation Targeting, Modelling and Forecasting, in collaboration with the Centre for Central Banking Studies of the Bank of England (CCBS). Held at the Bank’s Headquarters, and attended by central banks in the region, the seminar set a new attendance record in the entire history of the CCBS.
We also published our first Inflation Report in November, to fall in line with a requirement of the Bank of Mauritius Act 2004. This report retraced the historical pattern of inflation in Mauritius, and offered valuable insights into the critical factors affecting fluctuations in prices, which may serve as a guide for the future. We intend to publish Inflation Reports twice per year.
