Government holds regular meetings, usually twice a year, on broad economic policies with the JEC. These meetings are chaired by the Prime Minister and are attended by senior Ministers as well. Structured consultations are also held between the Private Sector and the Minister of Finance on the National Budget every year. Furthermore, the Private Sector is involved in tripartite wage negotiations and is represented in a number of joint Government/Private Sector committees. The Private Sector is represented on:

• the National Negotiating Committee on Post-Lomé discussions;

• the WTO Standing Committee and participated in all the WTO Ministerial Conferences; and

• the Regional Cooperation Council.

Apart from the structured meetings, there are also periodic meetings on sectorial issues between the Private Sector institutions and the relevant Ministries. The Private Sector of Mauritius regularly participates in the promotional activities conducted by the Government abroad.
