Mauritius has positioned itself as a strategic gateway for investors seeking to deploy capital across Africa and other emerging markets, with its financial services sector emerging as a major channel for cross-border investment, wealth management, and regional business expansion. Chief Executive Officer of Mauritius Finance, Faraz Rojid, stated this at the Mauritius Business Forum 2026, highlighting the country's strategic location, financial infrastructure, and investor-friendly policies as key factors behind its emergence as an international financial hub. Rojid described Mauritius as a bridge between Africa and the rest of the world, noting that its location between Africa and Asia places it within four to six hours of major economic centres such as Cape Town and Dubai. He added that the country's position along major maritime trade routes has supported the development of its financial and business ecosystem.
