Congrats Mauritius: Africa's 1st High Income Country. World Bank makes classification official. Mauritius said it would do it, has set people-oriented economic growth goals, practiced government financial discipline and attracted investment via transparency and sound policies.🇲🇺 pic.twitter.com/NCctEEPDCM

July 1, 2020: #Mauritius is classified a HIGH-INCOME economy! Great achievement for a country once considered a hopeless case by a future Nobel laureate in economics. No oil, no gas, no diamonds, no gold, no uranium... Just good ideas and good leadership. https://t.co/WbLIM7F8VO https://t.co/keJjydDeqO
