Economic History | Mauritius | With the weakness of the Euro and the rising labor cost in Mauritius, several EPZ companies have been experiencing serious financial difficulties, with one major firm going bankrupt in 2001. The approval of Mauritius as an eligible country for duty- and quota-free benefits under the African Growth and Opportunity Act since January 2001 is seen as a breathing spell for the EPZ.
