The Government of Mauritius is always striving to enhance the local business climate through a perpetual review and bettering of its regulatory and administrative framework. It is along this same line of vision that the Act came into force on 20 May 2017 with the objective of slashing red tape and other administrative hurdles that stymie the delivery of business permits, licenses, authorizations and clearances.

Such avant-gardist initiatives are expected to improve the island nation’s ranking in the Ease of Doing Business worldwide, attract foreign direct investment as well as inject new impetus into the economy thereby leading to more job creation.
