We are alive to the fact that regionalisation remains a viable avenue for better integration in the world economy. We have a new vision for transforming Mauritius into a regional business hub. We are fully embarked on the development of the New Economy. To keep our competitive edge after the proven success of our traditional sugar, tourism and EPZ sectors, we are now further diversifying our economy into another growth pole, that is Information and Communication Technology. Our primary objective is to make of Mauritius a CyberIsland.
Several projects are in the pipeline.
To support such an ambitious and extensive enterprise, we are presently working on the necessary IT infrastructure. As a responsible government, we have a pressing duty to carry out radical reforms in public institutions. Our public sector officers should become dynamic agents of change actively involved in the battle of competitiveness. We are coming forward with a series of measures to engineer e-government. Furthermore, a new regulatory and institutional framework will be introduced to support the far-reaching reform process.
