Mauritius economy 'much worse than we imagined', new prime minister says
Navin Ramgoolam announced the audit days after his coalition won a resounding election victory in November, alleging the previous government had manipulated data to put a positive spin on the country's economic prospects.
The former finance minister, Renganaden Padayachy, has not responded to requests for comment about Ramgoolam's allegations since the launch of the audit. Padayachy did not respond to further calls and a message seeking comment on Monday.
«We are almost completing our audit of the economy. It's shocking what we have seen. It's much worse than we imagined. Mauritians will soon discover the exact situation of the economy,» Ramgoolam said in comments broadcast on Mauritian television and radio stations on Saturday.
Ramgoolam, who is also the new finance minister, did not provide any figures to back up his weekend comments.
