Mauritius! - Dynamising Export Competitiveness (Paperback)

This paper analyses the attempt by Mauritius to replicate the export success of the East Asia "Tiger Economies" by adapting outward-oriented trade and investment strategies. It reviews Mauritius' competitive strengths and weaknesses at the national and enterprise level: its policies for trade, industry, foreign investment, industrial technology, human capital and EPZ infrastructure, and provides a detailed strategy for sustaining future export competitiveness. The Mauritius experience offers valuable lessons for other developing and transition economies.
