How did Mauritius respond to economic problems in the early 21st century?

At the beginning of the 21st century, Mauritius faced rising unemployment, driven in part by the negative impacts of international trade on its textile and sugar manufacturing sectors.12

To address these economic challenges, the government shifted its strategic focus toward developing more lucrative sectors, specifically prioritizing information technology, business, and financial services. This transition was part of a broader, long-term effort to diversify the economy beyond its historical dependence on sugar production.123
