The long-awaited Foundations Act 2012 (the “Act”) was enacted by the Mauritius National Assembly in June 2012 and came into force on 1 July 2012.

It is expected to attract substantial business opportunities from global investors, high-net-worth individuals and philanthropic organisations operating from civil law (including Islamic law) countries where the common law trust concept may not be that familiar or palatable.
