Unlocking Africa’s Potential: The Role of International Finance and The Strength of Mauritius as a Resilient International Financial Centre
Mauritius brings incredible potential as a trading partner – particularly as they march towards achieving a high-income economy in 2023/24 with a projected per capita income of $10,400. Our recent honorable guests from Mauritius highlighted in their speeches Mauritius’ readiness to grow in areas such as biotechnology, Fintech, AI, and RHQ for Africa.
At CUHK MBA, we are committed to bringing together global decision-makers into the MBA classroom, allowing our students to observe and participate in the forces that drive the future of business worldwide. Events like “Unlocking Africa’s Potential” represent our dedication to fostering knowledge exchange and exploring the vast potential of international finance.
The event kicked off with insightful speeches by Hon Mahen Kumar Seeruttun, Minister of Financial Services and Good Governance of the Republic of Mauritius, and Mr Vinay Guddye, Director of Financial Services at the Economic Development Board of Mauritius. The panel discussion that follows was hosted by Professor Anthony Yang, Associate Professor of Practice in Finance at the Department of Finance, CUHK Business School. Joining him were esteemed panelists Mr Raphaël BEAUDREY, Director of Rosemont Management (Mauritius) Ltd, Mr Vinay Guddye, and Mr Raymond Lo, Board Adviser of CUHK MBA Programmes. Their collective expertise in finance explored the exciting possibilities of Hong Kong-Mauritius collaboration in a business setting. The panel shed light on the advantages that Mauritius offers, including no foreign exchange controls, a competitive fiscal regime, and free repatriation of profits, dividends, and capital. Mauritius is eager to strengthen its fintech journey with Hong Kong, especially after the recent launch of its Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC).
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all the distinguished speakers, panelists, and attendees who made this event a resounding success.
