TOP Economic Policy: A People-Centered Economy for a Stronger Mauritius
At TOP – Together Our People, we believe the economy must serve the people — not the other way around. We will shift Mauritius towards an inclusive, productive, and future-ready economy where every citizen, from every corner of our island, has the opportunity to contribute and succeed.
1. Diversify the Economic Pillars
- TOP will modernize and expand the four key sectors: Tourism, Financial Services, ICT, and Manufacturing.
- We will aggressively support new growth sectors such as:
- Financial Sector and ICT
- Green economy and renewable energy
- Agro-innovation and food security
- Blue economy and sustainable fisheries
- Creative industries, arts, and film production
2. Empower Local Entrepreneurs
- SMEs and micro-enterprises will be the engine of economic recovery and growth.
- TOP will create:
- A National Fund for Startups offering grants and soft loans.
- One-stop business centres in each district for registering, licensing, and mentoring.
- A “Made in Mauritius” campaign to promote local production in shops and exports.
3. Job Creation with Dignity
- Our priority is meaningful jobs with fair wages, not precarious contracts or underemployment.
- We will launch a Youth Skills and Jobs Programme linked to industry needs, including internships and apprenticeships in tourism, fintech, healthcare, and trades.
- A Green Jobs Plan will create employment in renewable energy, conservation, and recycling sectors.
4. Digital and Financial Inclusion

- Ensure universal access to digital tools especially for the elderly.

- Increase minimum wage in line with inflation and introduce living wage policies in public tenders.
- Regulate monopolies and promote fair market competition.
6. Attract Ethical Investment
- We will ensure that foreign direct investment (FDI) comes with clear benefits:
- Job creation, skills transfer, and environmental protection will be conditions for approvals.
- Encourage investment in decentralized regions to reduce urban pressure.
Together Our People, Together for Prosperity.
TOP’s economic vision is clear: a fairer, greener, and smarter Mauritius where no one is left behind. The economy should not be about numbers — it should be about people, purpose, and progress.
