Back from West Africa with meaningful conversations and strong momentum.

Kesaven Moothoosamy, Executive Director, and Dinesh Sunnoo, Senior Relationship Manager | Fund Services at Intercontinental Trust Limited, have returned from the Economic Development Board Mauritius Roadshow to West Africa, following business forums held in Nigeria, Côte d’Ivoire and Ghana last week.

It was a valuable experience, with positive exchanges and encouraging feedback from business leaders, investors, managers and key stakeholders across the three markets.

The discussions reaffirmed what has to offer as a strategic platform for businesses looking to expand, structure investments, manage cross-border operations and access international markets with confidence.

At ITL, we remain available to continue these conversations and explore how Mauritius can support your business and investment ambitions.

Our CEO, Ben Lim, was featured recently in L'express Maurice - Le Journal de l’Économie - alongside key spokespersons, discussing de-risking, a topic that dominated discussions at the Africa Forward Summit in earlier this month.

Ben highlights what sets Mauritius apart as a jurisdiction genuinely built to support African investment flows - combining a hybrid legal framework, a recognised regulator, an investment-grade sovereign rating and a solid network of tax and protection treaties.

Kesaven Moothoosamy, Executive Director and Dinesh Sunnoo, Senior Relationship Manager | Fund Services at Intercontinental Trust Limited, attended the Lagos Business Forum, held as part of the Economic Development Board Mauritius Roadshow to West Africa, under the theme “𝗠𝗮𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘂𝘀: 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗰 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵 & 𝗚𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗹 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻.”

As one of the panellists, Kesaven shared insights on how can support Nigerian businesses, fund managers and investors as they expand beyond their domestic market. He highlighted the role of the Mauritius International Financial Centre in helping businesses manage -border complexity, particularly around foreign exchange, regulatory considerations, confidence and the efficient movement of capital.

He also spoke about Mauritius’ strengths as a fund and investment platform, with recognised fund vehicles, strong substance requirements, investor protection mechanisms, and a professional ecosystem that includes experienced administrators, auditors, legal advisers, banks and management companies.

These elements make Mauritius a practical and trusted for capital looking to scale across the continent and access international markets.

Following the Lagos Business Forum, Kesaven will also attend the upcoming forums in Côte d’Ivoire and Ghana, continuing the conversation on how Mauritius can facilitate investment flows between West Africa and international markets.
