A GLOBAL ISLAND IN THE MAKING

Internationally recognized as a safe investment location due to its long established tradition of socio-political stability, free market economy and good governance, Mauritius has embarked on a new era of business-friendliness.

The new Mauritius is now fully open to the world. Leveraging on an impressive track record in prestigious international surveys (In world Bank’s Doing Business Survey 2010 Mauritius  ranks 1st in the African region and 20th out of 183 countries), Mauritius can be considered as the strongest economy in Africa and is well set to become a Global Island.

A DREAM DESTINATION - A LAND OF GREAT OPPORTUNITIES

Mauritius, an international business center with a surface area of 1,865 square kilometers (720 square miles), is strategically located in the Indian Ocean, midway between the developing continents of Asia, Africa and Australia.

The island is a global nation of 1.2 million people, a carrefour of some of the oldest civilizations, namely Indian, Chinese, African and European.

Mauritius is a successful developing economy having recorded an average GDP growth of 5% over the last 20 years. From a mono-crop economy based on the cultivation of sugar-cane, the island has successfully metamorphosed into a robust and diversified economy, resting on agroindustry, export oriented manufacturing, tourism, financial services and ICT services.

The rapid pace of development and industrialization has been due to sound economic management, strong institutions, a clearly defined development policy and a strong partnership among government, business community and civil society.

Over the years, Mauritius has emerged as a competitive destination for foreign investment. Investors from major capital exporting countries of the world have a long history of doing business with Mauritius, many having re-invested in diverse economic activities.

Mauritius is now shifting gears to move to a higher stage of economic development. New business opportunities in higher value added products and services have been identified for their growth potential. These emerging sectors of activity are being closely nurtured to develop into new pillars of the Mauritian economy.
 

A GLOBAL COUNTRY- A TASTE OF HEAVEN

 

Mauritius has, over the years, meticulously crafted the prerequisites to make the island a really advantageous, safe and business friendly, location of unparalleled quality for the investor community, both local and foreign.

The island has over three decades of positive track record in hosting foreign investors, coming from major capitals of the world, many of whom have re-invested in multiple projects and are still present in Mauritius.

Mauritius, on top of being one of the world’s most attractive location, is a culturally rich and diverse country place to work and live in. It offers the visitor the possibility of experiencing the world diasporas in 1800 km2.
