As the Angola Oil and Gas 2022 event is committed to securing new investment in Angola’s energy sector and the wider regional energy landscape at large.

It is interesting to remind you that Angola and Mauritius have executed a double taxation agreement (AM DTA) this year in Luanda on May 25, 2022, which will be ratified by the Angolan government. The agreement signifies the growth and strength of the bond between the two countries and Órama Corporate Services is here to promote Mauritius in the Angola Oil and Gas conference event and to offer our support and assistance to businesses in Angola and the rest of Africa, to cushion them and to offer them the right platform to grow sustainably.

Using Mauritius as a springboard to do business in Africa has become a key strategy for the investor community.

 Mauritius has received several accolades such as;

• Number 1 in Africa on Ease of Doing Business – Making it the Most business-friendly country in Africa.
• Number 1 in Africa meeting all of Financial Action Task Force FATF Recommendations making it the most compliant country in Africa (ranked 6^th in the World)
• Number 1 in Africa on Human Development Index 2021

According to the Capital Economics Report, Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) to the tune of USD 80 billion into mainland Africa is mediated by Mauritius creating 4.2 million jobs in the continent.

The report finds that an additional $350bn of private foreign investment into Africa will be required annually by 2030 to meet the UN Sustainable Development Goals, mainly in the form of corporate lending, debt securities and institutional investment into African firms.

Mauritius will play a critical role in helping to realise the increase in prosperity, employment opportunities and quality of life needed to meet those goals, particularly as the population of Africa is expected to almost double to 2.5bn by 2050.

Mauritius supports other African countries to access the necessary capital to finance investment by reducing both the risks and costs associated with cross-border dealings.
