The FSPA has organized a business meet on the theme 'Mauritius – An IFC of Choice' in London yesterday 29th September 2016. The business meet regrouped around 100 leading bankers, fund and asset managers, captive managers, academics, advisors and international law firms in London and provided for an excellent interactive platform for the FSPA to update the delegates on the new measures announced in the recent Budget for Mauritius as an IFC and their implementation and related incentives. The Minister of Financial Services, Good Governance and Institutional Reforms, Hon Sudharshan Bhadain, GCSK, delivered a special address during the event and shared the vision of the government for graduating Mauritius to its next level of development as an IFC of excellence and also reiterated the commitment of Mauritius to international norms and best practices.
This event equally allowed the FSPA to tap into the growing interest of UK based financial services to look for alternative destinations following the UK's vote for BREXIT. As a result of this business meet, the FSPA has already received firm interests from delegates present in the field asset and fund management, captives management, academia/research, international legal services and financial data analytics amongst others.
