Of this sum, around USD 100 M will be spent during project implementation (2021 to 2025) and will concern the feeder bus routes. As a reasonable estimate, USD 13, 300,000 M have been used as co-nancing to the project. This co-nancing will be ascribed to Component 2 entirely. 2) The National Transport Corporation has estimated its investment in new electric buses at around USD 3 M. This co-nancing will be ascribed to Component 2 mainly and Component 3 and 4 as well. In the annual Budget for year 2019-2020, the Mauritian Government has included nancial incentives estimated at USD 3 M per year available for new, including, electric buses as part of a partial grant per electric buses and this can be linked to discussions happening on the GEF project development. 3) The ministry of Finance and Economic development will also co-nance with Grants USD 1 M in the project. It is noteworthy that the item on electric buses is new in this year’s Budget document. This co-nancing is ascribed to Components 2, 3 and 5 as investment mobilized. https://gefportal.worldbank.org 7/67 11/18/2019 Global Environment Facility (GEF) Operations D.

  • Competition Scenario in Mauritius
    Competition Scenario in Mauritius Prepared by: Mrs. Reshma Peerun-Fatehmamode (Project Convener) Mr. Sunil Bundoo Dr. Kheswam Jankee Supported by: Consumer Unity & Trust Society (CUTS International) August 2006 1 1. Introduction Economic theory demonstrates that welfare is greatest when markets are perfectly competitive. However, perfect competition does not exist in the real world, but the closer markets are to perfect competition, the greater the gains in welfare. This is because competition directs resources to their most productive uses in the economy and motivates firms to adopt the most efficient processes of production. Competition also ensures that the increased efficiency do not lead to increased profits for firms only, but reach consumers as well. As such, an effective competition policy should prevent the existence of anti-competitive practices. Indeed, a competition policy encompasses governmental measures that affect the behaviour of enterprises and the structure of the industry. It covers the broad spectrum of economic policies that have an impact on competition in the economy including trade policy, sectoral regulation, privatisation etc. A competition law forms an integral part of the competition policy of an economy. It can be seen as a legal tool that allows competition principles to be enforced. By keeping a check on concentration of economic power, outlawing rent-seeking behaviour, preventing anti-competitive business practices by dominant firms, eliminating artificial restrictions on entry, exit, and pricing in industries where they exist, competition law and policy ensure the competitive operation of the market, thereby providing entrepreneurs, including small and medium sized enterprises, with opportunities for participation in the economy and providing consumers with reduced prices, better quality and wider choices, all with the goal of achieving efficiency, growth, and equity.

  • Competition Scenario in Mauritius Prepared By: Mrs Reshma Peerun
    Competition Scenario in Mauritius (First Draft) Prepared by: Mrs Reshma Peerun-Fatehmamode (Project Convenor) Mr Sunil Bundoo Dr Kheswam Jankee Date: 08.02.06 1 1.0 General background of the Mauritian economy Mauritius is regarded as a fast developing small island economy with an area of 2040 Square kilometers. It is located in southern Africa; east of Madagascar in the Indian Ocean with geographic coordinates (20 17) south and (57 33) east. Since independence in 1968, it has developed from a low-income, agriculturally based economy to a middle-income diversified one with growing industrial, financial, and tourism sectors. With a population of 122,0481, ethnic and religious group consisting of Indo-Mauritian 68%, Creole 27%, Sino- Mauritian 3%, Franco-Mauritian 2%, Hindu 52%, Christian 28.3% (Roman Catholic 26%, Protestant 2.3%), Muslim 16.6% and others 3.1%. For most of the period, annual growth has been in the order of 5% to 6%. Mauritius has benefited from the preferential markets under the Lome convention and the Sugar Protocol. This remarkable achievement has been reflected in more equitable income distribution, increased life expectancy, lowered infant mortality and a much-improved infrastructure and simultaneously has been well poised to take advantage of the Africa Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA). It has achieved rapid growth and an enviable development transformation to become a significant exporter of manufactures with an emerging service sector within a short space of time. The Gini coefficient was 0.387 in 1997 and fell to its lowest to 0.371 in 2002 in order to represent a more equal spread of wealth and in terms of quality of life, Mauritius was ranked 62 out of 175 in 2003.
