The Relative Performance of Mauritius on Trade Costs; 7. The Relative Performance of the Mauritius ICT Sector 330 3 $aWe assess the competitiveness of Mauritius in recent years using two approaches. First, we estimate the difference between the equilibrium and the actual real exchange rate using four methods: the macroeconomic balance approach, the single-equation fundamentals approach, the capital-enhanced approach, and the external sustainability approach. The methods consistently suggest that at the end of 2007 the exchange rate was aligned with its equilibrium value. Second, we undertake a comparative analysis of structural competitiveness indicators and find that Mauritius often fares better on business climate than other small island economies and high-growth Asian economies. Nevertheless, there are areas for improvement. 410 0$aIMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;$vNo. 2008/212 606 $aCompetition$zMauritius$xEconometric models 606 $aForeign exchange rates$zMauritius$xEconometric models 606 $aEquilibrium (Economics)$xEconometric models 606 $aCompetition$2imf 606 $aCurrency$2imf 606 $aExchange rate arrangements$2imf 606 $aExchange rates$2imf 606 $aFinance$2imf 606 $aFinance: General$2imf 606 $aForeign Exchange$2imf 606 $aForeign exchange$2imf 606 $aGeneral Financial Markets: General (includes Measurement and Data)$2imf 606 $aReal effective exchange rates$2imf 606 $aReal exchange rates$2imf 607 $aMauritius$2imf 615 0$aCompetition$xEconometric models. 615 0$aForeign exchange rates$xEconometric models. 615 0$aEquilibrium (Economics)$xEconometric models. 615 7$aCompetition 615 7$aCurrency 615 7$aExchange rate arrangements 615 7$aExchange rates 615 7$aFinance 615 7$aFinance: General 615 7$aForeign Exchange 615 7$aForeign exchange 615 7$aGeneral Financial Markets: General (includes Measurement and Data) 615 7$aReal effective exchange rates 615 7$aReal exchange rates 676 $a338.6048 700 $aMinoiu$b Camelia$0874355 701 $aImam$b Patrick$01816071 801 0$bDcWaIMF 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910970141503321 996 $aMauritius$94372482 997 $aUNINA
