Mauritius in line for AfDB budget support: finance minister

CAPE TOWN (Reuters) - The African Development Bank (AfDB) was considering offering Mauritius a loan for budget support to help deal with the impact of the global economic crisis, Finance Minister Ramakrishna Sithanen said on Thursday.

"They have just announced support for Botswana and he (AfDB President Donald Kaberuka) told me they will consider extending the same type of facility to Mauritius," he told Reuters on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum Africa summit in Cape Town.

"I will be travelling to the AfDB to start discussions with them," he added, without giving more details.
