| Additional information |
The Bank of Mauritius was established in 1967, the same year the island gained independence from Britain, making the institution and the modern state essentially coeval. This 2007 commemorative marks four decades of a central bank that navigated the country's transformation from a sugar-dependent monoeconomy into one of sub-Saharan Africa's more diversified financial centers — a shift that involved some genuinely difficult monetary management through the oil shocks of the 1970s and structural adjustment pressures of the 1980s.
