Inspiring the Next Generation of Economic Leaders
Students from different cohorts of the University of Mauritius had the unique opportunity to discover, first-hand, the role and functions of the Bank of Mauritius, including an inspiring interaction with the Governor ,Dr Priscilla Muthoora Thakoor, who shared the Bank’s vision, mandate and the importance of its role in safeguarding financial and monetary stability.
The Governor highlighted the Bank’s vision and mandate, while emphasising how the professionalism, dedication and teamwork of the Bank’s staff, together with the support of the Deputy Governors, contribute significantly to enabling the Bank to effectively execute its mandate.
The students also stepped into the Bank of Mauritius Museum, where they explored the fascinating history and evolution of currency in Mauritius, gaining a deeper appreciation of the country’s monetary heritage and the journey from early forms of currency to modern-day payments.
The engagement continued with an in-depth exchange with resource persons from key areas of the Bank — Economic Analysis, Research & Statistics; Supervision; Financial Markets; Banking & Currency; and Payment Systems , giving students valuable insight into the diverse functions that underpin Mauritius’ financial and monetary ecosystem.
An enriching experience connecting academic learning with real-world central banking, while inspiring students to better understand the institution that stands at the heart of Mauritius’ financial system.
