China\u2019s private sector is now leading trade and investment in Africa, with new initiatives like the African Continental Free Trade Area promoting the growth of regional value chains by offering Chinese businesses access to a larger unified African market.<\/p>\n<p>With solid institutional frameworks and sound governance, Mauritius has established a reputation as a secure, reliable and competitive financial hub in Sub-Saharan Africa. The Mauritius International Financial Centre (IFC) has played a key role as a hub for driving investment to Africa, with more than 450 private equity funds domiciled in the IFC and investing in the continent, and close to USD 40 billion investments directed to Africa through Mauritius as of June 2021.<\/p>\n<p>In this webinar, gain insights into how China has become Africa\u2019s largest trading partner in recent years, how the Mauritius IFC is the ideal gateway to structure your investments into Africa, and the Mauritius-China tax landscape.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Speakers:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Clare Chang &#8211; Managing Director, IQ-EQ, Greater China<\/li>\n<li>Feroz Hematally &#8211; Head of Tax, IQ EQ, Mauritius and Director &#8211; Taxand, Mauritius<\/li>\n<li>Frank Tao &#8211; Partner, Tax &amp; Business Advisory Services \u2013 Hendersen Taxand, China<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong> 11 September 2024<\/p>\n<p><strong>Time:<\/strong> 3pm HKT<\/p>\n            <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class=\"related-section related-section--people related-section--centered standard-spacing\">\n    <div class=\"container\">\n                    <h2>Attendees from IQ-EQ<\/h2>\n                <div class=\"cards row-load\">\n            <div class=\"person-card\">\n            <div class=\"bg-img lozad normal\">\n            <img width=\"290\" height=\"190\" class=\"attachment-person_card size-person_card lozad\" alt=\"\" sizes=\"(max-width: 290px) 100vw, 290px\" data-src=\"https:\/\/iqeq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Clare-Chang-Formal-Grey-2024.png\" \/>        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"bg-img lozad hover\">\n            <img width=\"290\" height=\"190\" class=\"attachment-person_card size-person_card lozad\" alt=\"\" sizes=\"(max-width: 290px) 100vw, 290px\" data-src=\"https:\/\/iqeq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Clare-Chang-Informal-Green-2024.png\" \/>        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"info\">\n                    <h3>Clare Chang<\/h3>\n                <p class=\"job-title\">Managing Director, Greater China<\/p>\n        <div class=\"border\"><\/div>\n                    <p class=\"location\">Hong Kong<\/p>\n                <a href=\"#contact-person\" class=\"link link--deepgray email\">\n            Send email        <\/a>\n                    <a href=\"tel:+85231800497\" class=\"link telephone\">\n                +852 3180 0497            <\/a>\n                                    <div class=\"socials\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/clare-chang-8b382a43\/\" class=\"linkedin\">\n                    <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">LinkedIn<\/span>\n                <\/a>\n            <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"person-card\">\n            <div class=\"bg-img lozad normal\">\n            <img width=\"290\" height=\"192\" class=\"attachment-person_card size-person_card lozad\" alt=\"\" sizes=\"(max-width: 290px) 100vw, 290px\" data-src=\"https:\/\/iqeq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Feroz-Hematally-Formal-1-290x192.png\" \/>        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"bg-img lozad hover\">\n            <img width=\"290\" height=\"192\" class=\"attachment-person_card size-person_card lozad\" alt=\"\" sizes=\"(max-width: 290px) 100vw, 290px\" data-src=\"https:\/\/iqeq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Feroz-Hematally-Informal-290x192.png\" \/>        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"info\">\n                    <h3>Feroz Hematally<\/h3>\n                <p class=\"job-title\">Head of Tax, Mauritius<\/p>\n        <div class=\"border\"><\/div>\n                    <p class=\"location\">Mauritius<\/p>\n                <a href=\"#contact-person\" class=\"link link--deepgray email\">\n            Send email        <\/a>\n                    <a href=\"tel:+2302139936\" class=\"link telephone\">\n                +230 213 9936            <\/a>\n                                    <div class=\"socials\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/feroz-hematally-9a799422\/\" class=\"linkedin\">\n                    <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">LinkedIn<\/span>\n                <\/a>\n            <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n<\/div>        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"button-wrapper\">\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"featured_media":9908,"menu_order":0,"template":"","expertise":[],"service_category":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.0 -
