Mauritius Focuses on Governance and Compliance to Strengthen Its Financial Center

Mauritius is enhancing its training framework in financial services with the launch of the Certificate in Compliance & Corporate Governance, a program certified by the Chartered Governance Institute UK & Ireland. This initiative stems from a partnership between the Belstar Training Centre and KCB Global in the UK. The agreement was formalized on May 7 during a ceremony that brought together various players from the financial sector, including ministers Jyoti Jeetun and Kaviraj Sukon.

The program, offered in a hybrid format, aims to train professionals in governance, compliance, risk management, and anti-money laundering, particularly as regulatory requirements become increasingly stringent for the Mauritian financial sector. Project leaders believe this training will not only address the shortage of specialized skills but will also strengthen Mauritius’s credibility and competitiveness as an international financial center.
