Mauritius enjoys a varied and thriving economy sustained by three
vibrant pillars-agriculture, manufacturing and up-market tourism. Together with this sound
domestic economic base and capitalising on its strategic location, Mauritius is quickly
transforming itself into a dynamic, credible and customer-oriented offshore jurisdiction,
capable of providing a wide array of services.
Activities such as funds management, investment holding, trading,
shipping and banking are becoming well established on the island and are proving to be
niche areas exploited by investors wanting to maximise benefits from the Mauritius
jurisdiction.
Mauritius has also been actively involved in participating in regional
co-operation and integration in this part of the world, as witnessed by its membership to
the Common Market for Southern and Eastern Africa ( COMESA ), the Southern African
Development Community ( SADC ) and the proposed Indian Ocean Rim Association for regional
co-operation.Mauritius has also signed a number of Investment Promotion and Protection
Agreements with various countries including china.The island is thus positioning itself as
an interface between the emerging and growing economies of Asia and Southern and Eastern
Africa.
