Launching of theme ‘Sustainable Finance and Economic Social and Governance (ESG) considerations’ for the year 2023

Recognising that sustainable finance can be an agent for change, the Government of Mauritius announced the development of a green finance framework  in the 2020/2021 budget. This includes a regulatory and supervisory framework for the issuance of sustainable and green bonds.

ESG Investing has grown rapidly over the past decade. Climate change and ESG factors have come under increasing scrutiny from financial authorities given their impact on financial stability and policymakers are moving forward to strengthen practices with respect to sustainable finance and ESG in several ways.

In line with these developments, the financial literacy initiatives of the FSF for the year 2023 will be based on the said theme.
