Press Release: Foreign Assets and Liabilities Survey 2016

The Bank has today launched its seventh Foreign Assets and Liabilities Survey (FALS2016). FALS2016 calls for resident enterprises to provide transactions and position data with nonresidents for the year 2015. The objective of the survey is to improve the balance of payments and the international investment position statistical coverage for Mauritius.

The information provided in the questionnaire will be treated in strict confidence and will not be made accessible to any third party within or outside the Bank. The information supplied will only be published by the Bank in aggregated form. The Bank undertakes to withhold any information where there is a high risk of indirect or residual disclosure.

By virtue of the section 51A(1) of the Bank of Mauritius Act 2004, the Bank of Mauritius is responsible to prepare the balance of payment accounts and the external assets and liabilities position of Mauritius. Section 51A(2) states that the Bank may, by notice in writing, require any person to furnish, within such time and in such form and manner as the Bank may determine, such information and data as the Bank may require for the preparation of the balance of payment accounts and the external assets and liabilities position of Mauritius.

An electronic version of the questionnaire is available on the Bank’s website (https://www.bom.mu).
