MAURITIUS - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
Since independence in 1968, Mauritius has undergone a remarkable economic transformation from a low-income, agriculturally-based economy to a diversified, upper middle-income economy with growing industrial, financial, and tourist sectors. Mauritius has achieved steady growth over the last several decades, resulting in more equitable income distribution, increased life expectancy, lowered infant mortality, and a much-improved infrastructure.
The economy currently depends on sugar, tourism, textiles and apparel, and financial services, but is expanding into fish processing, information and communications technology, and hospitality and property development. Sugarcane is grown on about 90% of the cultivated land area and accounts for 11% of exports. The government's development strategy centers on creating vertical and horizontal clusters of development in these sectors. Mauritius has attracted more than 32,000 offshore entities, many aimed at commerce in India, South Africa, and China. Investment in the banking sector alone has reached over $1 billion. Mauritius’ textile sector has taken advantage of the Africa Growth and Opportunity Act, a preferential trade program that allows duty free access to the US market, with Mauritian exports to the US growing by 40% from 2000 to 2014.
Mauritius' sound economic policies and prudent banking
practices helped mitigate negative effects of the global financial crisis in 2008-09. GDP grew in the 3-4% per year range in
2010-17, and the country continues to expand its trade and investment outreach
around the globe. Growth in the US and Europe fostered goods and services
exports, including tourism, while lower oil prices kept inflation low in 2016.
Mauritius continues to rank as one of the most business-friendly environments
on the continent, and in mind-2017 passed a Business Facilitation Act to
improve competitiveness and long-term growth prospects.

COMMENTS
/ ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
|
|||
|
This information was
obtained from outside sources other than the subject company itself . A Global Business Category
1 (GBL1) is a company engaged in qualified global business and which is
carried on from within Mauritius with persons all of whom are resident
outside Mauritius and where business is conducted in a currency other than
the Mauritian rupee. It is the recommended
structure for individuals, body corporate, trust or partnership including
limited liability partnership or a société for investment and other high
profile business. A GBL1 may be locally incorporated or may be registered as
a branch of a foreign company. Public companies, those engaged in banking,
insurance and fund management, and companies wishing to benefit from the
provisions of Double Taxation Agreements (DTAs), can only be incorporated as
GBL1 companies. Confidentiality is strictly
observed in terms of the Financial Services Development Act 2001(FSD Act). No
person or body is authorized to disclose information or present documentation
to any court, tribunal, committee of inquiry or other authority in Mauritius
unless ordered to do so by a Court of Law on application by the Director of
Public Prosecution for inquiry into the trafficking of narcotics and
dangerous drugs, arms trafficking or money laundering as defined under
existing legislation. Upon application to the FSC, full disclosure is
required on the beneficial owners of the company. However, such information
is not available for public inspection. The company is
incorporated with an agent who is also the legal officer who represents the
company. It is difficult to
investigate due to the Mauritius regulations protecting the non disclosure of
the name of the shareholders. |
