Mauritius is gradually establishing itself as a significant financial center in the East African region and an important hub for business with African countries. The use of Mauritian investment funds facilitates interaction with African countries, minimizing problems with currency transactions. The country, which is part of various economic unions, greatly simplifies access to African markets and offers tax rates that are significantly lower than others.
