Aims of the Bank
To encourage and develop a more productive, sustainable, inclusive, and resilient Mauritian economy the Bank will support private sector development.
Moreover, the Bank will promote important economic, regulatory, and institutional reforms. This will help to lower operating costs and improve the environment for private investment.

In order to improve Mauritius’ regional and global connectivity and competitiveness, the Bank will assist the strategic construction and upgrading of cost-effective infrastructure.
Establishing the National Renewable Energy Roadmap 2030 is the main goal of support as far as the energy sector is concerned.
In order to improve sustainability and aid the nation in reducing the impact of hydro-meteorological conditions on infrastructure, the Bank will take climate change resilience into account when funding infrastructure projects.
