Message from the Managing Director of BOI
Dear Members and Valued Readers of the Freeport

As the newly appointed Managing Director of the Board of investment, it indeed gives me much pleasure to address you in this website of the Freeport Operators Association.
I have been associated with the Freeport sector for almost 16 years now, whether directly or indirectly. In 1995 when I joined the Mauritius Freeport Authority as Assistant Operations Manager, little did I know that I would be at the helm of the Board of Investment 16 years later. The Board of Investment is the apex body for the promotion and facilitation of all forms of investments in Mauritius. Visit the website: www.investmauritius.com

My interactions as from 1995 with the trading business community in the Freeport have helped me to understand the requirements, challenges and economic realities facing operators and be able to forge a culture to facilitate business, be investor friendly and ensure that Mauritius remains a competitive platform. This has always been a guiding principle in all my dealings. I wish to sincerely thank operators in the Freeport for the honest, candid and frank interaction, the sharing of ideas and views on how to make Mauritius a competitive trading, logistics and distribution hub.
Let me conclude by wishing the Freeport Operators Association well in its future endeavours. I look forward to working in closer collaboration with all stakeholders in the Freeport and we remain, at the BOI, fully committed to serve you to the best of our abilities.

Warmest regards

Ken Poonoosamy
Managing Director
Board of Investment
