At the core of this is the dialogue between the Bank and the CEO’s of all banks in Mauritius – which is unmatched in its regularity, its frequency and its intensity – which has helped us enormously to shield our small open and vulnerable economy from the crisis.
The award is thus a tribute to the collective contribution of the Government, the Central Bank, the banking industry, and the Mauritian private sector. I would like to think of this distinction as a celebration of the progress of my country towards economic and social salvation.
