Africa-Press – Mauritius. <\/strong><\/span>Mauritius has surpassed South Africa as the wealthiest country in Africa on the back of its many initiatives and policies to attract investors. According to the latest report by New World Wealth and AfrAsia Bank the average wealth per person (wealth per capita) in the country amounts to just over $30,000 as at June 2021, which is well above 2nd placed South Africa ($11,000).<\/p>\n

\nWell before the release of this information, the interest from South Africans to relocate or visit the island was growing apace as is evident by more flights being added between SA and Mauritius by Air Mauritius and FlySafair introducing flights to the island from November.<\/p>\n

According to the New World Wealth report, there are many reasons for this:
\nEase of doing business in the country \u2013 Mauritius ranks 1st in Africa and 13th worldwide in the World Bank\u2019s 2020 Doing Business Report.<\/p>\n

Low taxes which encourage business formation and appeal to retirees. Notably, there is no inheritance tax or capital gains tax in Mauritius. Safety \u2013 Mauritius was recently rated by New World Wealth as the safest country in Africa, along with Namibia and Botswana.<\/p>\n

Notably, safety is one of the key drivers of wealth growth in a country. Strong HNWI growth \u2013 many wealthy individuals (HNWIs) have moved to this jurisdiction over the past decade.<\/p>\n

In addition, many locally born HNWIs have been created as the economy has grown. Mauritius is now home to around 4,400 HNWIs, compared to 2,500 HNWIs a decade ago.<\/p>\n

A fast-growing local financial services sector and stock market (SEMDEX). High per capita income levels. The World Bank officially classified Mauritius as a high-income country in July 2020.<\/p>\n

The island has long been a popular destination for local holiday makers, but in the past five years has attracted a range of investors from SA. Some relocated businesses there, others invested in property \u2013 while not becoming permanent residents \u2013 and there is growing interest in residency options through investment.<\/p>\n

The Ministry of Financial Services and Good Governance has also released a statement, that as at 21st October 2021, the FATF (Financial Action Task Force) has concluded that Mauritius would no longer by subject to increased ongoing monitoring by the FATF.<\/p>\n

This comes after Mauritius has significantly progressed in improving it AML\/CFT regime. Mauritius has demonstrated their commitment to prioritise and fully implement the FATF action plan in both public sector institutions and private sector operators.<\/p>\n

By the FATF recommendation, it is expected that EU shall remove Mauritius from its list of high-risk countries next week. Mauritius immigration statistics for 2015 was 28,585 a 15.1% increase from 2010.<\/p>\n

As with many other policy initiatives, this is actively encouraged as the growth of the country demands more and more skilled people its low population growth cannot support.<\/p>\n

New World Wealth\u2019s growth projections for Mauritius are strong. The intelligence company expects Mauritius to experience wealth growth of 80% over the next decade (to 2030).<\/p>\n

This will make it one of the five fastest growing high-income markets in the world over this period, along with Australia, New Zealand, Switzerland, and Malta. By 2030, HNWI numbers in Mauritius are expected to reach just over 7,800 compared to 4,400 currently.<\/p>\n
