On 29 November 2019, the Dentons office in Mauritius hosted its second edition of “Discussions with Dentons”. The event was attended by our clients, collaborators, including Loretta Joseph who is a global fintech Consultant for regulatory and government bodies to various countries, the Mauritius Fintech Hub and Global Finance Mauritius, amongst others. Our colleagues from Dentons’ Mauritius, UK and US offices were also present at the event. Dentons was proud to provide a platform for these key industry and sector stakeholders and contributors to gather in order to share their questions, experiences, knowledge and to provide market insights and solutions.

The programme consisted of half-day panel discussions followed by a cocktail on the sandy beach of Lux Belle Mare. Panel discussions were lead and attended by noted professionals from various sectors including banking and financial Institutions, Economic-Social-Governance, Fintech, global business and financial services and the media and entertainment industries in Mauritius.

Mauritius was recently ranked 13 out of 190 countries in the latest edition of the “Ease of Doing Business Report” released by the World Bank, positioning the country as a global leader. With this in mind, the discussions centred around aspects of improvement and the various benefits and challenges applicable to the aforementioned sectors, as well as the improvements and contributions that we can make towards a more favourable business eco-system in Mauritius. Particularly insightful were the discussions focused on how Mauritius is adapting to the evolving business environment and the key differentiators that make the country one of the leading recipients of Foreign Direct Investment (US$372 million in 2018) in Africa.
