According to Mauritius’ finance minister, Rama Sithanen, the country has a stable and profitable economy that should attract real interest from overseas investors. He believes its location, which links Africa, India and Asia, is reason why investors could benefit from investment opportunities there.
Its finance industry has performed particularly well in recent years and GDP has grown steadily. The country’s GDP is set to grow 2.7% this year.
Once heavily reliant on sugar production for much of its income, Mauritius has experienced major growth in its textile, tourism and communications segments in recent years, according to Mr Sithanen.
