Description
In this series finale of our “Mauritius: What’s Next?” series, we have the immense pleasure and honour of sitting down with Dr Rama Sithanen, GCSK. Former Finance Minister and Vice Prime Minister of Mauritius and one of the “founding fathers” of the Mauritius IFC, Dr Sithanen is uniquely placed to talk to us about the past, the present and the future.
In this episode, among the many, many things we discuss:
- His experience of public sector versus private sector;
- The state of the economy and how we are placed to deal with rising inflation, the depreciating rupee and the looming threat of recession;
- The tricky issue of low versus high taxation;
- The scarcity of human capital;
- The damaging effects of Mauritius’ unique two-labour market;
- What needs to be done to move to a high-income country.
