Africa is a buoyant continent which is rising
Africa is a buoyant continent which is rising, however, it suffers from large gaps in infrastructure and public finance, and on its own will not be able to fill these gaps.
As an example, 35% of the population in Sub-Saharan Africa don’t have access to electricity. Private investments in the form of Private Equity are helping the continent to bridge these gaps to provide people with access to basic infrastructure needs. Those Private Equity firms need a secure investment hub such as Mauritius to allow them to invest securely in key infrastructure projects.
SGG Mauritius is the largest investor services firm on the Island and we have been helping Private Equity firms to invest in Africa and Asia for over 25 years. Mauritius is a tried and tested jurisdiction which together with our experienced SGG team and clients is able to help Africa rise to its potential.
