The Mauritius
Chamber of Commerce and of Industry is known to be the
oldest non profitable institution in Mauritius representing
the private sector. The institution has been created in
1850. There has been in the first decade, when Mauritius was
under the British control, an increase in the volume of
trade in Mauritius. At this time the community of Mauritian
business felt that was a need of a representational
framework to settle the conflicts which may arise in trading
activities.

In the past the
institution was only known as Chamber which turns to Chamber
of Commerce and it was only in 1965, when Mauritius was
getting to independence, that it got its present name
Mauritius Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
The short term of
the Mauritius Chamber of Commerce and Industry is MCCI.
