Why Mauritius?

The Republic of Mauritius is experiencing dramatic growth. This offshore location 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 World Trade Organization (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. It is also party to a number of double taxation agreements and is listed on the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) ‘white list’.

The importance of Mauritius as a gateway for investment into Africa has been highlighted in many global reports, with Mauritius often being identified as Africa’s ‘most business-friendly country’ (the World Bank).

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 1.25m and a highly educated workforce, the government is successfully encouraging the introduction of external financial institutions to stimulate investment and diversify the economy.
