But beyond its incomparable ‘art de vivre’, few countries rival Mauritius when it comes to its thriving economy. The island’s success is attributed to its ability to reinvent itself, shifting from being a sugarcane-based economy to diversifying into manufacturing, tourism, financial services and business outsourcing. Today, it has evolved into a magnet for savvy investors, businesses, families and retirees. Strategically located, Mauritius offers an ideal time zone to trade with all major markets in the world. It has also established itself as one of the biggest financial centres in the Indian Ocean, with a vast network of double-taxation treaties, a conducive business environment, political stability, international banks and schools, and enabling regulatory frameworks. It continues to grow as a world-class business hub, in large part thanks to an increasingly qualified and bilingual workforce. Above all, it is home to a diverse mosaic of cultures, all of whom cohabitate in peace and solidarity. Foreign nationals wishing to live, invest or work in Mauritius can explore various avenues. For instance, acquiring property (under designated schemes and specific conditions) will automatically grant the owner and his family residency status. As Mauritius pursues its ambition of being a high-income economy, the job market is dynamic and offers huge opportunities to experienced professionals.
