Around thirty companies at the heart of the Africa CEO Forum

Around thirty Mauritian companies from the financial sector participated in the latest edition of the Africa CEO Forum, held in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire.

This event is recognized as the most important private sector gathering in Africa. More than 2,800 people attended the forum, including ten heads of state and around fifty ministers. Among the Mauritian companies present: MCB, CIEL, Eclosia, Nexus, AFG Capital, and Peach Payments. Their objective was to create new partnerships and strengthen economic relations with African countries.

This strong presence demonstrates that Mauritius is seen as a stable and reliable platform for investment in Africa. The Mauritius International Financial Centre (MIFC) is increasingly attracting international institutions.

The Minister of Financial Services and Economic Planning, Jyoti Jeetun, also participated in this important event. The latter took part in a discussion on the cost of capital crisis, where she explained how African businesses can take advantage of the changes to move forward.

Apart from the official sessions, the Minister held several meetings to promote the MIFC. These discussions demonstrated a strong interest in Mauritius as a location for financial companies.
