Mauritius as a platform for Africa
Mauritius has taken advantage of its strategic position at the crossroads of Africa, Asia and Australia to gradually transform itself into an international center and jurisdiction for investors looking for security, attractive taxation, transparent regulation and added value. Mauritius has become an important platform for global business to develop activities and to invest in African continent.
The advantages of Mauritius as a hub for investing in Africa
A country open to the world
Mauritius has long implemented a policy of openness towards the international community. The Mauritian population is bilingual in French and English. (The French language is spoken usually and the English language is written from business). The infrastructure is modern and Mauritius offers excellent means of communication with the new airport and regular flights to major European cities and countries on the African continent. If you add a strategic time zone that allows trading with Far Eastern markets in the morning, financial centers in Europe during the day and the United States in the afternoon and evening, you understand better why Mauritius is open to the world and is one of the most connected countries.
An internationally recognized country
The country has taken very well advantage of its strategic position at the crossroads of Africa, Asia and Australia to become an international jurisdiction known to investors seeking security, transparent regulation and high added value. Mauritius’ assets and advantages are now well known. Mauritius is now recognized for its expertise in many fields of activity (banking, insurance, finance, tourism, etc…) and can therefore assert its regional leadership. Seen from Europe, it has become the real gateway to invest in Africa and a financial and business hub for the region. In the Indian Ocean, economic cooperation relations are very close with Reunion Island and more recently Mayotte, two French overseas departments and of course Madagascar.
