A new Business Facilitation Bill is being finalised by the government with the goal of reducing red tape, facilitating investment, and enhancing Mauritius’s reputation as a global financial hub. The announcement was made on 28 October 2026 by the Prime Minister, Dr Navinchandra Ramgoolam.
It is expected that the Economic Development Board of Mauritius (EDB) will play a pivotal role and be the focal point to foreign investors to coordinate multi-agencies interactions for licensing and other approval purposes to facilitate business. The new Business Facilitation Bill aimed at improving the business climate, easing investment, and supporting the country’s sustainable economic growth.
The Prime Minister clarified that the broader plan focuses on boosting the nation’s competitiveness and assisting companies in accessing foreign markets so that Mauritius can adjust to shifts in the world economy while strengthening its standing as a trustworthy jurisdiction.
The Bill has not yet been released, and the specifications will be important. We are keeping a close eye on the EDB consultations, and as soon as the draft text is available, we will provide clients with our analysis.
