Mauritius

Mauritius is one of Africa's wealthiest and most developed nations per capita, a small Indian Ocean island that diversified from a sugar monoculture into a thriving economy of tourism, finance, and manufacturing.

Stable, democratic, and business-friendly, it has become an offshore financial hub and a model of African development, though it must manage its reliance on a few sectors.

Key Sectors

The economy rests on financial and offshore services, tourism, textiles and garments, sugar, and a growing technology and seafood-processing sector.
