Thank you for the privilege to providing the opening for the Workshop, indeed very timely for Mauritius, as we are currently finalizing our National Payment Systems Legislation and working towards a National Payment Switch. I am also delighted to see Ms Onnene Partsch in our midst today.
Ms Onnene Partsch has, as part of the IMF Technical Assistance Mission, provided assistance to the Bank of Mauritius in reviewing our draft National Payment Systems Bill. I am confident that she, as well as all the resource persons, will partake their invaluable experience and knowledge with you during this week.
