Africa is now widely regarded as the next emerging market. Already, foreign direct investment in the old continent is touching new highs. Despite the euphoria, Africa remains an untested, risky and unpredictable market albeit offering high returns. Apart from its growing tax treaty network with 16 African countries, its bilingualism (English & French), Mauritius has signed Investment Promotion and Protection Agreements with 20 African states, some awaiting ratification, which guarantees free repatriation of investment capital and returns and safeguards against expropriation among others. As a result, Mauritius is gradually emerging as the de facto jurisdiction to domicile Africa funds and to hold foreign direct investments bound for Africa. GWMS is well equipped to assist you in your Africa foray and its association with GMN International South African member firms affords GWMS and its clients with an undeniable unfair advantage over the others!
