investment practice and causing resources to be diverted away from<br />

productive use. Emphasis is on uncertainty with endogeneous expectations<br />

and endogenous instability that need to be interrupted by some institutional<br />

sector, the security market and the offshore sector in Mauritius.<br />

protection of both financial investors and consumers of financial services are<br />

examined.<br />

Chapter 6 discusses domestic banking issues in Mauritius. It reviews the shift from<br />

reforms, banking spread and banking crises.<br />

Chapter 7 measures financial development in terms of stock market indicators.<br />

Some cross country comparisons are made. It also contains a pre and post<br />
