The Mauritius Financial Services Commission (FSC) published a communiqué reporting that Mauritius rose 10 places in the Global Green Finance Index 15 (GGFI 15), ranking 64th with a score of 531 points. In the Middle East and Africa regional table, Mauritius ranked fifth, ahead of Doha, Bahrain and Kigali. The index assesses international financial centres based on the depth and quality of green finance offerings, and Mauritius was also classified as a “Global Contender” alongside Luxembourg and Nairobi. The FSC attributed the improvement to sustainable finance guidelines for financial institutions, enhanced frameworks supporting climate risk disclosure, ESG reporting and green bond issuance, and public-private collaboration on capacity building and innovation in sustainable finance. The FSC Chair indicated the regulator expects to continue embedding sustainability principles in its supervisory approach and to further accelerate its green finance agenda.
