Business Daily meets: Mahen Kumar Seeruttun
We hear from Mauritius' Minister of Financial Services - the island has become Africa's financial hub in the last couple of years, but critics say it's a tax haven.
The island of Mauritius is well established as a luxury holiday destination with five star hotels, beautiful beaches and clear blue waters.
But in the last couple of years it has also become Africa鈥檚 financial hub, attracting billions of dollars of investment by leveraging on decades of political and economic stability, a strategic location on the Indian Oean plus a multiple taxation system that incentivise investors.
Critics say it鈥檚 a tax haven - an allegation the island is keen to put at bay.
Can Mauritius sustain its status as a high income country and attract the skilled labour it seeks to expand the economy?
