‘Call for views’ on FinTech

The Government of Mauritius aims at making Mauritius a FinTech Hub for the region and is committed to build a conducive ecosystem to support the growth and development of the FinTech sector in Mauritius.

In line with this vision, the Government approved the setting up of a Technical Committee under the Chair of the Ministry of Financial Services and Good Governance, to look into the emerging issues being encountered by the industry stakeholders for the carrying out of FinTech activities in Mauritius.

The Technical Committee is launching this ‘Call for Views’ to explore ways in which the industry, regulators and policymakers can work together to ensure the continued success of the development of the FinTech sector in Mauritius.

The main objectives of this ‘Call for Views are to:

     -  Understand how Mauritius needs to adapt itself to harness the benefits of FinTech

     -  Reveal challenges/hurdles faced by FinTech start-ups in relation to ease of doing

         business

     -  Identify talents/skills and job opportunities in the Fintech space

     -  Understand the views of both start-up businesses and investors.

It is expected that the information gathered will provide a basis for the development of a National strategy for Fintech and enable Mauritius to leverage on this innovative technology to help consumers and businesses, through a joined-up strategy that combines investment, skills and policy to deliver better services in the financial services sector.

Any interested party who wishes to contribute in the development of the Fintech sector in Mauritius, is kindly invited to submit its views to the Ministry of Financial Services and Good Governance by email or by post at the following address at latest by Thursday 15 April, 2021:
