An Ideal Platform

摘要

With a population of just 1.3 million, Mauritius may be small, but it thinks big. The country's leading companies, rather than relying on its limited domestic market, are focusing on reaching hundreds of millions of people across Africa as Mauritius consolidates its position as an investor-friendly, open and secure springboard for the continent. The 2013 Doing Business report, published by the World Bank and the International Finance Corporation, ranked Mauritius 19th worldwide in ease of doing business, ahead of Germany, Japan and Switzerland. This ranking places Mauritius first in Africa, 20 places ahead of South Africa, whose economy is worth 29 times more.
