Financial and business services contributed approximately 13.4% of GDP in 2024, while tourism generated over $2 billion in annual foreign-exchange earnings. Real GDP grew by an estimated 3.2% in 2025, supported by continued strength in services, though growth has moderated from the post-pandemic rebound peak.

Lokaler Brokerzugang

The SEM operates a CDS (Central Depository System) for settlement. Foreign investors must use a licensed investment dealer (stockbroker) to open a CDS account and place orders. Settlement is currently T+3, with plans to move to T+2. Local licensed brokers include MCB Stockbrokers (part of MCB Capital Markets), SBM Securities, Swan Securities, and several others listed on the SEM website. No US-listed ADRs exist for Mauritian companies. International access via Interactive Brokers is available; US-domiciled retail brokers may restrict accounts once a Mauritius address is registered. The iShares FM ETF (formerly the main single-instrument frontier market vehicle with Mauritius exposure) was liquidated in January 2025.

Umzug & Aufenthalt

Zugang für ausländische Investoren

Foreign investors face virtually no restrictions on portfolio investment in SEM-listed companies, except that approval is required for acquisitions exceeding 15% of shares in a sugar company. To trade on the SEM, foreigners must open a CDS (Central Depository System) account through a licensed stockbroker and fulfill full KYC requirements under Mauritius anti-money laundering law. Local brokers include MCB Stockbrokers, SBM Securities, and Swan Securities. US-based retail platforms (Schwab, Fidelity) may restrict account access after relocation to Mauritius due to FATCA compliance rules; Interactive Brokers is the most widely used platform for expatriates. There is no capital gains tax in Mauritius, and the income tax rate is flat, making the jurisdiction attractive for international investors and high-net-worth individuals.
