What are the main economic industries in Mauritius?
1 Mauritius has a single economic structure and only produces sucrose. In the late 1970s, with the support of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, the economic restructuring plan was implemented, and an economic structure with sugar industry, export processing industry and tourism as three pillars was formed. Since the implementation of the second-stage development plan in the 1980s, the export processing industry has gradually changed from labor-intensive to technology-intensive, striving to become an "emerging industrial country" in Africa. In 1990s, on the basis of consolidating the three pillar industries, Mao government actively promoted the policy of economic diversification, made efforts to improve the investment environment, encouraged foreign investment, vigorously developed the offshore financial industry, and built Port Louis into a free port. At present, the financial service industry has become the fourth pillar of the national economy. In the new century, the Mao government began to devote itself to developing a new economy with information technology and communication as its core, and planned to build Mao into an information and communication center in the region.
