**The Mauritian government officially launched its National Fintech Strategy 2026-2030 on 25 June 2026, positioning the island as a reference destination for financial technology companies from Africa and the Indian Ocean. The financial services sector already accounts for 12.4% of Mauritius's GDP.**

## A Solid Regulatory Track Record

At the 2026-2027 budget presentation, the Ministry of Financial Services reported a remarkable implementation rate: **13 of 18 measures** programmed in the 2025-2026 budget have been fully implemented, with 4 additional measures on track for completion by end of June 2026\. Among completed initiatives: the AML/CFT Act 2026, modernisation of the Financial Services Commission via artificial intelligence, deployment of the goAML 5.5 platform, and Cabinet approval of the National AML/CFT Strategy 2026-2029.

## The Fintech Strategy 2026-2030: Four Priority Pillars

The new strategy targets four pillars: a fit-for-purpose regulatory framework for family offices and wealth managers, an Africa strategy for financial services, a revision of FSC licensing fees, and modernisation of financial reporting legislation. Minister Dr. Jyoti Jeetun stated: 'We must maintain our attractiveness and competitiveness on the international stage.' A message directed at sector operators concerned about over-regulation risk amid growing fiscal pressure — with Mauritius's public debt at 86% of GDP according to the IMF.

## A Sector That Anchors the National Economy

At **12.4% of GDP**, financial services are Mauritius's second economic pillar after tourism. They employ tens of thousands of qualified professionals and generate an essential share of government tax revenues. In a context of fiscal pressure, this sector is called upon to play an even more central locomotive role.

## Why It Matters

The Fintech Strategy 2026-2030 is not merely a planning document. It is a signal to global investors that Mauritius remains in the competition — and intends to strengthen its regional lead across Francophone Africa and the Indian Ocean. For businesses seeking a solid legal and financial bridgehead in the region, the Mauritian trajectory remains the benchmark.
