“It’s a budget that soothes and relieves. But above all it contradicts the birds of doom who spread the rumor of an increase in VAT. “But it is above all a budget of solidarity between a government and its population. Because in addition to reducing the universal old age pension to 60 years but based on income, the Prime Minister and Minister of Finance is above all bringing a drastic reform to the pension of elected officials. "As for tourism, the Prime Minister underlined, the sector is doing well but a big project awaits us with the development of Eco Integrated Tourism Villages in various regions of the country in order to promote Mauritian authenticity, the revamping of the Sir-Gaëtan-Duval Hotel School, the introduction of licenses for innovative activities and above all a major reform concerning the accommodation offer. “To conclude on the social side, there are many measures for the sick and children who need care among others.†“Despite the difficult situation throughout the world, the effects of the war having led to an increase in VAT in many countries, here this was not the case. And I remain convinced that next year the situation will improve even more and the Prime Minister and Minister of Finance should come with even more measures to relieve the population. »
