Prime Minister Navin Ramgoolam will chair a newly formed 10-member ministerial committee tasked with mitigating the economic fallout of the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.

The high-level group has been established to assess the specific impacts of the regional war on the Mauritian economy and to propose urgent strategic measures to maintain national stability.

Comprehensive Government Response

The committee draws from a broad cross-section of the cabinet, highlighting the multifaceted nature of the potential economic threat.

Joining the Prime Minister are the ministers responsible for:

• Agro-industry and Environment
• Energy and Commerce
• Social Integration and Labour
• Land Transport and the Civil Service
• Education and Tertiary Education

Urgent Deliberations

The urgency of the situation was underscored during initial deliberations held yesterday morning. Officials indicated that the first wave of protective measures is already under consideration.

While the specific details of these interventions remain confidential, sources suggest they could be announced imminently once validated by the committee.

The timeline for the rollout will be dictated by the evolving situation on the ground in the Middle East.
