This year, Mauritius was the best African country for doing business, according to a ranking published by the American magazine Forbes.

This island of the Indian ocean is the 39th  best country for business in the world in the ranking that compared 161 countries based on fifteen criteria. These criteria are notably, property rights, innovation, taxes, corruption, freedom (personal, economic and monetary), bureaucracy and investor protection, workforce availability, infrastructures, the market size as well as the living conditions.

    Just going through this list and wondering if enough research was actually conducted, mindful of the present stakes. Countries here I don’t understand how they will attract investors better than others. Cameroon is one of the most politically unstable counties in the west of Central Africa, yet ranked 133 ahead of countries such as Ethiopia, whose new president is a new renaissance for Africa development and empowerment.
