The Investment Climate Assessment Mauritius 2009 Report, prepared jointly by the World Bank, African Development Bank and the Board of Investment, identifies the constraints to the growth and competitiveness of enterprises and of the Mauritian economy overall.  According to the study, Mauritian enterprises are faced with several constraints, in particular, a poorly skilled labour force, infrastructure deficiencies, the informal market and the difficulty in accessing finance (especially for SMEs).  

The report also makes several recommendations for policy actions with respect to supporting exports, promoting R&D and innovation, fostering industry-research collaboration, improving human resources, strengthening workers’ skills base and expanding access to finance.
