Mauritius is the principal offshore financial and fund-structuring hub for African investment. Its hybrid legal system blends French civil law (the Code Napoleon) with English common law in commercial, company and procedural matters, and English is the language of the courts. For cross-border investors the practical effect is a familiar common-law commercial environment layered on a civilian private-law base. The Financial Services Commission regulates the global business sector, while the Bank of Mauritius oversees banking. An extensive double-taxation treaty network with African states, combined with the Global Business Company and Authorised Company regimes, makes Mauritius the default holding and fund-domicile jurisdiction for private equity and venture capital deploying capital across the continent.
