See, its Chief Executive is not happy that the rupee did not stay at the levels of a few years ago. Maybe it's because that's near to the weakest our currency has been.

L'artik-la coumans par "... usiniers de l’industrie mère"...
ReplyDeletePierre ti pé dire dan l'express mem 4 banané de-cela: "Quand on dit que l’industrie sucrière ne rapporte que 3 % du produit intérieur brut (PIB), c’est vrai, mais qu’en est-t-il de ce qu’elle rapporte indirectement ?"

Sans doute un peu plus, si l’on tient compte des effets indirects comme le transport ou l’effet revenu des coupeurs de cannes lors des bonnes campagnes"
Dans l'espace 4-an, contribution dan PIB inn 'progressé' dépi minoritaire pou vinn insignifiant. Mé zournalis ki'nn ponn sa "usiniers de l’industrie mère"-la pétett penkor compran ki zeu shougueur-inndeusstri méritt bien so sirnon "sunset industry". Malgré l'insistans Pierre lor bann leffé indirek - li tousel kwar la-dan.

ReplyDeleteThe process of hiring foreign labour should be tightened. We simply cannot encourage outsiders who can live on way less than us in their own countries to get into Mauritius to allow some entrepreneurs to avoid paying decent salaries to locals.
ReplyDeleteYou have noticed that people who ask for depreciation are also asking for making it easier to let more foreign workers in.
The country that gave us our official language is probably creating the last nail in the coffin of our sunset indutry: a sugar tax.
