Mauritius improves by 11 places on GFCI 33

Article Published on April 27, 2023

Already in its 33rd edition, published on 23 March 2023, the Global Financial Centres Index (GFCI 33) iterates its position as a reference point for policy and investment decision-makers through its critical and comprehensive evaluation of future competitiveness for 120 financial centres globally.

Mauritius has improved its position in the global ranking by 11 places (from 92nd to 81st), owing to the considerable efforts made by the Financial Services Commission (FSC) in upgrading the service offering of Mauritius’ financial services landscape. As a contributor to the GFCI 33 report, the FSC took the opportunity to showcase the attractiveness of the sector, especially at a time where there are increasing prospects for virtual assets related activities through the introduction of the Virtual Assets Initial Token Offering Services Act in 2022.

The GFCI emanates from a collaboration between China Development Institute (CDI) in Shenzhen and Z/Yen Partners in London and is updated and published every March and September. For this edition, 30 financial centres were taken into consideration.
