Although known to Arab and Malay sailors as early as the
10th century, Mauritius was first explored by the Portuguese
in the 16th century and subsequently settled by the Dutch
- who named it in honor of Prince Maurits van NASSAU -
in the 17th century. The French assumed control in 1715,
developing the island into an important naval base overseeing
Indian Ocean trade, and establishing a plantation economy
of sugar cane. The British captured the island in 1810,
during the Napoleonic Wars. Mauritius remained a strategically
important British naval base, and later an air station,
playing an important role during World War II for anti-submarine
and convoy operations, as well as the collection of signals
intelligence. Independence from the UK was attained in
1968. A stable democracy with regular free elections and
a positive human rights record, the country has attracted
considerable foreign investment and has earned one of
Africa's highest per capita incomes. Recent poor weather,
declining sugar prices, and declining textile and apparel
production, have slowed economic growth, leading to some
protests over standards of living in the Creole community.

Since
independence in 1968, Mauritius has developed from a low-income,
agriculturally based economy to a middle-income diversified
economy with growing industrial, financial, and tourist
sectors. For most of the period, annual growth has been
in the order of 5% to 6%. This remarkable achievement
has been reflected in more equitable income distribution,
increased life expectancy, lowered infant mortality, and
a much-improved infrastructure. The economy rests on sugar,
tourism, textiles and apparel, and financial services,
and is expanding into fish processing, information and
communications technology, and hospitality and property
development. Sugarcane is grown on about 90% of the cultivated
land area and accounts for 15% of export earnings. The
government's development strategy centers on creating
vertical and horizontal clusters of development in these
sectors. Mauritius has attracted more than 32,000 offshore
entities, many aimed at commerce in India, South Africa,
and China. Investment in the banking sector alone has
reached over $1 billion. Mauritius, with its strong textile
sector, has been well poised to take advantage of the
Africa Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA).
