Mauritius offers foreign investors an extensive network of treaties and double taxation agreements (“DTA”s) making it the gateway for investments into, amongst other areas, India and the African continent. Having been channelled through Mauritius since the early 1990’s, invested assets amount to over six hundred billion United States Dollars ($ 600.00 billion). In comparison to its offshore financial centre competitors, only Luxembourg has a larger portfolio of foreign direct investments relative to the size of its economy (fifty times (50.00) for Mauritius). Additionally, Mauritius has a favourable network of investment promotion and protection agreements on top of the DTAs in force.
