PRESENTATION ON INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES IN MAURITIUS was held in BCCI
If so far we have known Mauritius as a tourist destination only, from today’s presentation before the BCCI members of its economic possibilities as a financial center of investments in India and China, we see that a relatively small economy must continually present its potential.
Today BCCI’s guest is the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance and Economic Development of Mauritius Dr. Ramakrishna Sithanen, who previously met Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance and Economic Development Simeon Dyankov. The two ministers of finance commented the possibilities of signing an agreement of avoidance of double taxation between the two states.
The meeting with the representatives of this small but extremely fast developing country, ranking 17-th among 173 in the World Bank’s research on business-conducive environment for the year 2010, showed that providing better conditions for investments and making business is important for each country at a crossroads, such as Bulgaria – said BCCI President Mr. Tsvetan Simeonov.
There is a significant detail, the delegation of Mauritius being on a short representative visit to countries from the European Union, arrived from Paris in Sofia, and from here departed to London. The mere fact that we have lived to be in one group with France and England is worth working in the economic sphere – concluded Mr. Simeonov.
The Mauritius’ delegation presented the possibilities for entrepreneurship initiatives and asked for information about Bulgarian producers in the field of food and wine industry. Within the framework of the visit, established was cooperation with the Chamber of Commerce of Mauritius and a Bulgarian delegation’s visit to the republic.
