Leading Mauritius management firm International Financial Services Limited – takes stance in Islamic economy.

ISFIN has teamed up with International Financial Services Limited (IFS) – a leading management firm in Mauritius.

Prof. Laurent MARLIERE, CEO of ISFIN, says “The economy of Mauritius has developed itself from a low income, agriculture based economy to middle income diversified economy. The country’s economy is based on tourism, textiles, sugar and financial services.  In recent years we have seen new industries such as IT, Real Estate, Renewable Energy and health care attracting investment from both local and foreign investors.  In addition, Mauritius is increasingly being recognised as a credible international financial centre for structuring of both conventional and Islamic investments.”

“Mauritius ranks high in terms of economic competitiveness, boasts a friendly investment climate, portrays good governance and operates a free economy. In fact Mauritius has built its success on free market economy and ranks as the 8th most free economy worldwide.  While the World Bank ranks Mauritius first among African economies in terms of ease of doing business, the country also topped the African Mo Ibrahim Index of Corporate Governance for the 8th consecutive year.  This blend of outstanding achievements makes the flow of foreign investments into and through Mauritius attractive.” adds MARLIERE.

IFS Co-Founding Director, Couldip Basanta Lala says IFS is a leading management company licensed by the Financial Services Commission  in Mauritius to provide advisory and management services for international businesses.  Our aim is to be a recognized leader in providing value added international tax, corporate and business advisory services.
