  • 1 Executive Summary Mauritius Is an Upper Middle-Income Island Nation
    Executive Summary Mauritius is an upper middle-income island nation of 1.2 million people and one of the most competitive, stable, and successful economies in Africa, with a Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of USD 11.9 billion and per capita GDP of over USD 9,000. Mauritius’ small land area of only 2,040 square kilometers understates its importance to the Indian Ocean region as it controls an Exclusive Economic Zone of more than 2 million square kilometers, one of the largest in the world. Emerging from the British colonial period in 1968 with a monoculture economy based on sugar production, Mauritius has since successfully diversified its economy into manufacturing and services, with a vibrant export sector focused on textiles, apparel, and jewelry as well as a growing, modern, and well-regulated offshore financial sector. Recently, the government of Mauritius has focused its attention on opportunities in three areas: serving as a platform for investment into Africa, moving the country towards renewable sources of energy, and developing economic activity related to the country’s vast oceanic resources. Mauritius actively seeks investment and seeks to service investment in the region, having signed more than forty Double Taxation Avoidance Agreements and maintaining a legal and regulatory framework that keeps Mauritius highly-ranked on “ease of doing business” and good governance indices. 1. Openness To, and Restrictions Upon, Foreign Investment Attitude Toward FDI Mauritius actively seeks and prides itself on being open to foreign investment. According to the World Bank report “Investing Across Borders,” Mauritius has one of the world’s most open economies to foreign ownership and is one of the highest recipients of FDI per capita.

The programme, implemented under the generic theme ‘Consolidating Democratic Governance in the SADC Region’, has evolved over a four-year period spanning 2003-2006. The research aims to investigate the state of democracy and governance in the Southern African Development Community (SADC) region, posing a key question as to whether or not the region has undergone democratic transition and, if so, posing a related question as to whether or not the region is firmly set on the road to democratic consolidation. The four key variables for the assessment of the state of democratic governance in this study are: representation and accountability; citizen participation; local governance; and economic management and corporate governance.

  • Competition Scenario in Mauritius
    Competition Scenario in Mauritius Prepared by: Mrs. Reshma Peerun-Fatehmamode (Project Convener) Mr. Sunil Bundoo Dr. Kheswam Jankee Supported by: Consumer Unity & Trust Society (CUTS International) August 2006 1 1. Introduction Economic theory demonstrates that welfare is greatest when markets are perfectly competitive. However, perfect competition does not exist in the real world, but the closer markets are to perfect competition, the greater the gains in welfare. This is because competition directs resources to their most productive uses in the economy and motivates firms to adopt the most efficient processes of production. Competition also ensures that the increased efficiency do not lead to increased profits for firms only, but reach consumers as well. As such, an effective competition policy should prevent the existence of anti-competitive practices. Indeed, a competition policy encompasses governmental measures that affect the behaviour of enterprises and the structure of the industry. It covers the broad spectrum of economic policies that have an impact on competition in the economy including trade policy, sectoral regulation, privatisation etc. A competition law forms an integral part of the competition policy of an economy. It can be seen as a legal tool that allows competition principles to be enforced. By keeping a check on concentration of economic power, outlawing rent-seeking behaviour, preventing anti-competitive business practices by dominant firms, eliminating artificial restrictions on entry, exit, and pricing in industries where they exist, competition law and policy ensure the competitive operation of the market, thereby providing entrepreneurs, including small and medium sized enterprises, with opportunities for participation in the economy and providing consumers with reduced prices, better quality and wider choices, all with the goal of achieving efficiency, growth, and equity.
