- Why Mauritius
  
  Mauritius has a hybrid legal system, combining both the civil and common law practices. As such, its legal system is governed by principles derived both from the French Code Napoleon and the British common law. Mauritius also retained the right of appeal to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, which remains the highest appellate court of the country.
- International Agreements
- Political and Economic Stability
- Transparent and Efficient
- Banking
  
  Rich in history and ancestral linage, the Mauritius Banking Sector has been at the service of the economy since 1838. Mauritius is in fact eulogized as having the oldest banking institution of the south of the Sahara, and one of the oldest banks of the Commonwealth. Today, the Mauritius IFC is made up of 19 local and international banks, offering a wide array of services, from traditional retail banking facilities to specialized services such as fund administration, private banking, structured trade finance, Islamic banking, investment banking and custody services. All the banks are licensed by the Bank of Mauritius to carry out banking business locally and internationally.

  The Financial Services Commission, Mauritius (the ‘FSC’) is the integrated regulator for the non-bank financial services sector and global business. Established in 2001, the FSC is mandated under the Financial Services Act 2007 and has as enabling legislations the Securities Act 2005, the Insurance Act 2005 and the Private Pension Schemes Act 2012 to license, regulate, monitor and supervise the conduct of business activities in these sectors. The current regulatory framework has many strong elements, including reliance on solvency monitoring, prudent asset diversification, international accounting standards, and actuarial methods.
