Given its substantial network of DTAAs and IPPAs with over 40 countries and its strong global business sector, Mauritius is also used as a
platform for financial transactions and investments in the region. A significant amount of FDI to Mauritius is intended for other countries/
economies in the region. In 2014-2015, for instance, Mauritius regained the position as top source of FDI into India, outrivaling Singapore
to second slot. Mauritius accounted for about 29% of India’s total FDI inflows in fiscal year 2014-2015 (amounting to some USD 9bn, as
opposed to USD 6.74bn of FDI inflows from Singapore).
