Over the past four decades Mauritius has successfully followed an economic strategy of diversification and industrialisation. One element of this was to attract direct foreign investment, with the result that Mauritius has developed good facilities for business. There are direct scheduled flights from Europe, Africa, the Far East and Australasia, a reliable infrastructure and sophisticated communication links. The local workforce is an added advantage with Mauritius enjoying the highest adult literacy rate in Africa and most individuals being fluent in English and French. The success which Mauritius has experienced has been recognised by a number of international organisations. In the World Bank’s Doing Business Survey 2012, Mauritius was ranked 23 out of 183 countries and first in the sub-Saharan African region.
