Mauritius Can Be Regional Hub In Fintech Say Industry Leaders

The British High Commission in Mauritius organised Wednesday 25 January 2017, jointly with the Financial Services Promotion Agency (FSPA) and the Board of Investment (BOI), the first ever UK-Mauritius fintech conference. The half-day event saw the participation of many industry leaders and Nicole Anderson, a London-based fintech entrepreneur and one of the experts in the field, delivered the keynote speech

In her opening speech, Dr Ameenah Gurib-Fakim, the President of the Republic of Mauritius, stressed the fact that Africa needs to innovate in all sectors, and especially in financial services due to its context, where almost 80% of the continent does not have access to banking facilities.
