NEW! Our latest Investment Policy Review of Mauritius is out now. It assesses the current climate for investment in the country and highlights potential reform priorities to boost opportunities. Some key recommendations include: ✅ Reassess the rationale for restrictions in key sectors, as well as their potential impact on FDI inflows in these and in other sectors. ✅ Consider distinguishing between compensable and non-compensable forms of indirect expropriation. ✅Assess the corporate governance framework against G20/OECD Corporate Governance Principles. ✅Raise awareness of IP rights over intangible assets. ✅Consider further collaboration with the OECD on a review of competition law and policy or a competition assessment of a specific sector such as banking. ✅Consider clarifying current investment treaties in force to reduce exposure to potential claims. With the publication of this report, Mauritius has also adhered to the OECD Declaration on International Investment and Multinational Enterprises. By joining this community of over 50 economies, Mauritius will be able to gain valuable insights, support, and opportunities to further enhance its investment policies.

Our recent report, Infrastructure for a Climate-Resilient Future, shows that economic losses from climate-related disasters are estimated to have increased sevenfold from an annual average of USD 198 billion in the 1970s to USD 1.6 trillion in the 2010s. New #infrastructure developments are an opportunity to build-in #climate resilience early-on and at a lower cost than having to retrofit existing assets.
