Minister of Economic Development, Financial Services and Corporate Affairs Mrs Ann Rennie, Deputy Mission Chief Ladies and Gentlemen Good morning I am pleased to be here in your midst, this morning, for the opening of this Seminar on the Financial Sector Assessment Programme.
Over three years ago, on May 26, 2000 the Financial Stability Forum had issued a Press Release in which it categorised Mauritius in the third and last group of countries regarding their perceived degree of supervision and co-operation. The categorisation was carried out on the basis of a survey, including questionnaires that were, according to the Press Release, forwarded to supervisors the world over.
