The Republic of Mauritius is experiencing dramatic growth. This newest offshore office location for Appleby provides options for international clients, particularly those with an interest in business into and out of African and Asian markets. Mauritius is a member of the WTO, the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) and the Southern African Development Community (SADC), and has the effective commercial and legal infrastructure required to support the development of a global business network.

Since independence from Britain in 1968, Mauritius has diversified its economy with growing industrial, financial, and tourism sectors. For most of the period, annual growth has been in the order of 5% to 6%. With a population of 1.2m and a highly educated workforce, the government is successfully encouraging the introduction of external financial institutions to stimulate investment and diversify the economy. Mauritius now has more than 30,000 global business company (GBC) registrations and 460 registered global funds with a Net Asset Value in excess of US$35sbn.
