170th Anniversary Gala Dinner

Celebrating MCCI 170^th anniversary

The MCCI, established in 1850, is the oldest non-profit making institution representing the private sector in Mauritius. With the increase in the island's volume of trade during the first decades of British administration, the Mauritian business community felt the need for a formal representational and arbitration framework to foster the interests of the trading community and to settle disputes and conflicts arising in trade-related activities.

Over the years,the MCCI has evolved from a purely representative and consultative body to a dynamic actor in the socio-economic development of the country. Throughout its years of existence, it has constantly striven to carry out its fundamental mission of defending and promoting the vital interests of its Members.

To celebrate its 170th anniversary, the MCCI organized a Gala Dinner on the 26th of February 2020 at the Trianon Convention Centre. The event was graced by the presence of the Prime Minister of the Republic of Mauritius, the Honourable Pravind Kumar Jugnauth. Guest of Honour on this occasion, he shared his economic vision of the country with members of the business community present.
